Below is her statement which she posted on her wall.
“I seldom respond to tabloids. After all, words like “allegedly” exonerate journalists behind these stories and personally, I’ve never gone after any media house because, I understand that it’s one of many ways for certain journalists and media houses in this town to make their money.
The intention to sue notice sent to The Kampala Sun
With that said, the most recent Kampala Sun stories published about me involve larger issues.
The Kampala Sun journalist, Solomon Muleyi, called me prior to publishing these stories and I gave him DETAILED accounts of the truth.
To my surprise and shock, this “journalist” decided to write distorted versions of the stories that have hurt my reputation and businesses in more ways than one.
The irresponsible and malicious tone that stated obvious lies as facts are at the very least negligent and more importantly illegal.
Luckily we live in a world where illegal acts are punishable by law”, Angella
