Senior Counsel Philip Murgor Demands Ksh360M For Representing Kenya Pipeline Company

Senior Counsel Philip Murgor is battling to get paid Ksh360 million after representing Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) in a multi-billion case in 2014.

The lawyer sought to cross-examine the government parastatal’s chief legal officer Stanley Manduku for non-payment after providing legal services. Murgor justified his request by saying he was seeking to establish whether the senior official was trying to defraud him of his legal fees.

In response, Manduku argued against his cross-examination that there was no justifiable basis for it.

Murgor represented KPC in a case for a 450-kilometre pipeline from Mombasa to Nairobi worth Ksh43 billion before the Public Procurement and Administrative Review Board.

He further represented the company before a high court in a case seeking the tendering process stopped over allegations of discrimination.

Murgor won the case as the matter was dismissed and the contract awarded to a Lebanese firm Zakhem International Construction.

The lawyer claimed that KPC never paid him any money including instruction fees, photocopying costs, and appearance in court fees.
