Twitter was on fire on Monday morning when two of Kenya’s top lawyers, senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi and flamboyant city lawyer Donald Kipkorir engaged in a war of words.
The war began when Donald Kipkorir lamented on Kimwarer and Arror dam projects just days after president Uhuru Kenyatta cancelled the Kimwarer dam project.
Kipkorir said the two dams’ contracts were corruptly gotten and are void, arguing that the entire sum of Kshs. 21 billion plus and punitive damages is recoverable from all beneficiaries.
He further slammed Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen saying that the senator’s advice had no legal foundation and is fake.
” Arror & Kimwarer Dams Contracts were corruptly gotten & are void . Entire sum of Kshs. 21B plus & punitive damages is recoverable from all beneficiaries. Purported advise by Kipchumba Murkomen has no legal foundation & is Fake. He ought to be dropped as Senate Majority Leader,” tweeted Donald Kipkorir.
This is when Ahmednasir came in, asking for “the common denominator between the late Kamotho, Chotara and Kipkorir” arguing that they paint with dirt their ethnic communities to endear themselves to the powers.
Ahmednasir further argued that Kipkorir should learn from history and stop abusing his Kalenjin community for the allure of mirage.
Kipkorir again came to respond to the tweet, asking Ahmednasir how condemning corruption can be abuse of a community.
The city lawyer argued that he has been condemning corruption across for over 30 Years citing that Ahmednasir’s timeline is full of abuses against Somalis who don’t agree with him on leadership of Somalia.
“How can condemning corruption be abuse of a community? Have condemned corruption across for over 30 Years! And look in the mirror. Your timeline is full of abuses against Somalis who don’t agree with you on leadership of Somalia ..Which is surprising as I thought you are Kenyan,” posted Kipkorir.
Ahmednasir in his response accused Kipkorir of criticism Saudi Arabia day in day out. He further accused him of getting files from NSSF land scandal by force between 1998 and 2001 before being chased away.
“Typical small minded Don, you criticise Saudi Arabia 24 hours/7 days a week did we question your citizenship? Second ati you fought graft for 30 yrs, we remember how you got files(NSSF LAND DEALS) by force in 1998-2001 before HE (you know whom iam talking about) chased you away,” read Ahmednasir’s post.
But Kipkorir came in to defend himself from the accusations, arguing that he had never handled any file from NSSF and that he has never received any money from NSSF.
He further told Ahmednasir that if was was campaigning to be an Attorney General (AG) or Chief Justice (CJ) in a TangaTanga Government to do it openly.
