On June 3, 2020, a heated exchange erupted on Twitter between city lawyer Donald B Kipkorir and former Director of Digital Communications at the Presidential Strategic Communication Unit Dennis Itumbi.
Itumbi, a staunch supporter of Deputy President William Ruto, had taken to Twitter to slam Kipkorir, alleging that the lawyer knew nothing and had only one AIE. He also claimed that the Presidency had separate budgets, which were managed by the comptroller.
However, Kipkorir was not one to take the jibe lying down. He fired back at Itumbi, calling him a 'pig farmer' and accusing him of having a D grade in Form 4. He also claimed that Itumbi was obsessed with him and couldn't even be his gardener.
Itumbi had earlier tweeted, 'I have seen a certain SlayQueen 'Lawyer' has told wakili @ahmednasirlaw that Presidency had separate budgets. Well only one AIE holder, the comptroller has managed both offices. Only PSC hires staff in @StateHouseKenya & ODP. Presidency, FYI, had EOP, ODP, Interior & Devolution,'
But Kipkorir was quick to respond, saying, 'AA, that pig farmer whose only infamy is his master forgery has obsession with me.. I don’t follow him. I blocked him a long time but he always has to look for my tweet. Advise him that with his D in Form 4, he can’t even be my gardener. And how can he even want to advise me?'
Ahmednasir Abdullahi, a senior counsel, had earlier intervened in the exchange, saying, 'Dennis…good point but please stop calling my friend "SlayQueen lawyer"… we must debate with decorum and respect…abuse add no weight/value to an argument!'
