Top city lawyers Ahmednasir Abdullahi and Donald Kipkorir have clashed over the recent appointment of former police boss David Kimaiyo to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
Kimaiyo who hails from Elgeyo-Marakwet county was appointed as the chairman of KNH, the country's top referral hospital.
This saw Kipkorir who was brought up in remote rural Cheptongei in the same county took to Twitter to congratulate him on the appointment.

"Kimaiyo deserves the appointment. Like most from Marakwet, he grew up in poverty and with utmost resilience reached the top," Kipkorir's congratulatory message read in part.
This, however, did not go well with his learned friend Ahmednasir who faulted him for what he termed as being selective in his fight against social evils.
"I love my friend Donald, he talks, lectures, condemns, cries about and pontificates from hilltops and other high pedestals on corruption, good governance, constitutionalism," Ahmednasir retorted.
Ahmednasir sarcastically indicated that Kipkorir condemnation of these vices is done: "in far places like Singapore, Finland and even in Kenya but when it comes to his village mates, he neither sees nor hears evil."
Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen was equally attacked on Friday by citizens after he took to social media congratulating the former police boss.
Murkomen had in 2016 questioned Kimaiyo's credibility and ability to represent Elgeyo-Marakwet county in the Senate claiming that his past records were unimpressive.

Mr Kimaiyo retired from National Police Service on December 2, 2014, after a series of killings claimed by Al Shabaab on the Kenyan border town of Mandera.
