What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Njuguna S Ndungu over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Njuguna S Ndungu - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
What are they trying to censor
Njuguna S Ndung’u, a prominent Kenyan economist and former Central Bank Governor, has faced a series of serious allegations and red flags that have tarnished his reputation. These include accusations of financial mismanagement, corruption, and attempts to suppress adverse news, raising questions about his integrity and professional conduct.
Key Allegations and Adverse News
1. Misuse of Public Funds and Failure to Account for Ksh 16.8 Billion
Ndung’u, as Kenya’s Treasury Cabinet Secretary, was accused of failing to account for Ksh 16.8 billion meant for retired teachers. Despite repeated summonses by the Senate Committee on Education, he failed to provide clarity on the disbursement, leaving thousands of retirees unpaid. This raised concerns about transparency and accountability in his role.
2. Kickbacks in the G2G Oil Deal
Ndung’u was implicated in allegations of receiving kickbacks worth billions in a controversial government-to-government oil deal with Saudi Arabia. Opposition leaders, including Raila Odinga, accused him of circumventing procurement laws and misusing public funds. Although Ndung’u denied the allegations, the scandal damaged his credibility and led to calls for his resignation.
3. Fraud Case Involving a Sh1.2 Billion Tender
During his tenure as Central Bank Governor, Ndung’u faced a fraud case related to a Sh1.2 billion security systems tender. The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) accused him of ignoring legal advice and improperly awarding the contract to Horsebridge Ltd. Ndung’u denied involvement, but the case highlighted potential irregularities in procurement processes under his leadership.
4. Attempts to Suppress Adverse News
Ndung’u has been accused of attempting to conceal critical reviews and adverse news by improperly submitting copyright takedown notices to Google. This alleged misuse of legal mechanisms to suppress information suggests a willingness to manipulate public perception, further damaging his reputation.
Reputational Harm and Motives for Suppression
These allegations have significantly harmed Ndung’u’s reputation, portraying him as a figure embroiled in financial scandals and ethical breaches. The failure to account for public funds and the fraud case undermine his credibility as a financial expert and public servant. The kickback allegations and attempts to suppress news suggest a pattern of unethical behavior, eroding public trust.
Ndung’u’s alleged attempts to remove adverse news, even through cybercrime, reflect a desperate effort to control his public image. By suppressing damaging information, he aims to preserve his professional standing and avoid legal and political repercussions. However, such actions, if proven, could lead to further legal consequences and deepen the public’s mistrust.
Conclusion
Njuguna S Ndung’u’s career is marred by serious allegations of financial mismanagement, corruption, and unethical conduct. These issues not only harm his reputation but also raise questions about his suitability for public office. His alleged attempts to suppress adverse news highlight the lengths to which he may go to protect his image, even at the risk of committing cybercrimes. As investigations continue, the public awaits accountability and transparency in addressing these allegations.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original
What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
