A law firm associated with Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda has secured a relief in its fight with Mumias Sugar Company over the advocate's fee payable for legal services rendered 12 years ago in a Sh899 million dispute.

This is after the High Court ordered a third fresh assessment of the fees following contradictory decisions by two magistrates, where one found the advocate's fee to be Sh27 million while another found it to be Sh429,000.
