Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu is now demanding Sh50 million legal fee from his rival Kiambu Governor William Kabogo.
Through his lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui, Waititu has filed a bill of costs seeking an order to compel Kabogo to offset the Sh50,960,422 he accrued from March 14, 2016, to date.
This is after the MP won a suit Kabogo had filed questioning the Panjab University degree that Waititu holds.
Waititu's court document says the amount sums up the total incurred from the moment he instructed the lawyer to represent him in the suit.
Kinyanjui wants the court to consider “the amount of work he devoted to the proceedings and the time he consumed researching and doing follow ups".
Kabogo had challenged Waititu's academic qualifications in order to bar him from contesting in the August 8 general election.
However, in December last year, Justice Joseph Onguto said in his ruling that the issues Kabogo wanted to be determined are not within the court's jurisdiction.
Justice Onguto struck out the case and dismissed it. Waititu is seeking to unseat Kabogo from Kiambu governor's seat.
