Last week Friday a tabloid newspaper reported that Boko a renowned human rights lawyer and also Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) president is owing P21,000 in child maintenance. In the newspaper article Boko dismissed the allegation as untruthful.In a bold move, Boko told his 795 Facebook friends that it is remarkable how many untruths, contrived and padded stories get published about me. "Some are actuated by rabid malice, others just enforced stupidity or plain ignorance. I read them with the scornful derision I reserve for fools and their foolishness."The maintenance issue alleged in one of the newspapers was contrived by a fertile imagination that however fails to state the facts," wrote Boko.
In another post he wrote: "They exhume a matter that was withdrawn and abandoned by the claimant. It is such a farce! The lesson is simple. When you step up to the plate in this terrain expect these hazards. They do not make the experience any less noble and worthy. I am ramrod staunch; unshakeable!"One of his admirers Oliver Modise did not take kindly to the tabloid story about Boko. Modise wrote that leaders too like commoners have private lives. "Boko Duma's sordid details are not worth ink. He is a mere mortal and not an infallible human being. Of course he is a marvel jurist, has world class prose and perhaps the only mortal with a sense of speech," said Modise.
