City Lawyer Donald Kipkorir and Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen are involved in a Twitter disparage after Don served the collapsing MO Sound scammer Kevin Mulei’s NRG Radio a legal demand on behalf of marathoner Eliud Kipchoge.
Kenyan Bulletin had written about how the dimming star radio had rebranded to Kipchoge Radio in order to shine of Kipchoge’s fame.
Senator Murkomen, who is also a lawyer, faulted Mr Kipkorir accusing of misleading Kipchoge on the best way to handle the matter.
I would advice @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

Lawyer Donald Kipkorir responded telling the legislator to mind his business and if he was actually interested in the case he should hold brief for NRG Radio.
My Senator …. Lets 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 …

This blew quickly to a war of words between Ruto’s cattle dip lawyer Murkormen and the Wife snatcher Controversial City lawyer Don Kipkorir.
Hey Don I didn’t know you are the one who misled Kipchoge&I didn’t say so.I however strongly believe that this matter would better be handled out of the limelight.There is a Serena “Hotel” in my village which sells only tea & Mandazi.I don’t expect the real Serana Hotel to sue

Don’t worry my Senator …… there is no Big Corruption or small corruption …. Eliud Kipchoge is a bigger brand than that restaurant you refer to .. Intellectual Property Rights of athletes must be protected at all costs .. But am not surprised you support theft of IP Rights!

Senator Murkomen went on and told Don that he’s using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
You are using a sledgehammer to crack a nut !

Kipkorir, on Friday served NRG Radio with a cease and desist letter for using Kipchoge’s name to market their brand without his consent.
In the letter, he gave the radio station two hours to expunge the athlete’s name, images and references from all its platforms. The station has since complied.
