Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu has filed a bill of costs in Court against his political opponent, area governor William Kabogo, seeking an order compelling him to offset the Sh50,960,422 he accrued from March 14, 2016 to date.
This follows a suit Kabogo had filed, questioning Waititu's Panjab University degree.
The former Embakasi MP won the suit December 2016, after High Court Judge Joseph Onguto ruled that it lacked jurisdiction to meddle in the dispute.
Waititu said the claim considers that the case was of great public interest, the length of time involved, and the nature of the proceedings, including the fact that Kabogo pegged the value of the claim by affidavit evidence, as being a grave constitutional violation, which escalated thereafter.
The MP's Court document argued that the amount sums up the total amounts incurred from the moment he instructed lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui to represent him in the suit, according to the Star.
Kabogo accused Waititu of identity theft and questioned his academic credentials, even as Waititu seeks to unseat him in the August polls.
He claimed Waititu was using someone else's academic papers and did not have any post-primary school education, leave alone a degree from the India-based University.
Kabogo wanted the Court to declare Waititu unfit to run for public office.
