Published on October 19, 2019, a Twitter spat between Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and Lawyer Donald Kipkorir has left the two embroiled in a heated argument.
Senator Murkomen, a lawyer himself, criticized Kipkorir for allegedly misleading marathoner Eliud Kipchoge in the matter involving NRG Radio.
According to Senator Murkomen, Kipkorir overreacted by drafting a demand letter to the radio station over a matter that could have been resolved with a simple phone call.
"I would advise @EliudKipchoge against unnecessary legal battles with entities like @NRGRadioKenya merely excited with his fete. It waters down the good name of Kipchoge. Concerns raised shouldn’t have been in the form of legal threats. A phone call is enough. He was terribly misled," tweeted Senator Murkomen.
Lawyer Donald Kipkorir responded, telling the legislator to mind his business and suggesting that if he was genuinely interested in the case, he should represent NRG Radio.
"My Senator …. Let’s have professional respect…. If my client thought you are a better lawyer than me, he would have come to you…. Let’s operate on our different lanes! Kindly, act for NGR Radio and we see the outcome," replied Mr Kipkorir.
The exchange escalated into a war of words between the two.
