City lawyer Donald Kipkorir is set to be paid Sh1.3 billion, one of the highest legal fees awarded in the country’s litigation history, for defending the Nairobi County government against the Ministry of Defence in a case involving the parcel of land where Embakasi Barracks stands.
The Environment and Land Court ruled last week that Mr Kipkorir should be paid Sh1.338 billion for representing the defunct city council in the case that was in court for close to 10 years.
