Economist David Ndii and flamboyant lawyer Donald Kipkorir took on each other in a battle on X, formally Twitter.
It all started with Kipkorir throwing an indirect shade at Ndii, whom he accused of name-dropping his alma mater in the United Kingdom whenever he was challenged in an argument.
Ndii has lately been under fire by a huge section of the citizenry on the internet; they accuse him of failing to sustain an argument and instead bragging about being an Oxford University alumnus to scare and shut down his critics.
"When you have to remind people every day you went to Alliance or Oxford, you have a problem!" Kipkorir fired.

It did not take long before Ndii retaliated.
The economist attacked the lawyer using the assertion that he (Kipkorir) has unsuccessfully been struggling to fit into various circles of affluent and eminent individuals.
Ndii suggested that despite his affluence, Kipkorir was detested by the high and mighty in Kenya.
"When you need to remind people you’ve “made it” but they won’t let you into MCC," Ndii hit back at Donald.
Even as Ndii strive to redeem himself out of Kipkorir's supposed diss, a host of X users took on him for what they suggested as lacking substance when arguing on the state of the country's economy.
The economist chairs the President's Council of Economic Advisors, which counsels President William Ruto on the dynamics of the economy and the necessary interventions needed to put the economy on track.
But despite his role in the government, Ndii is on record giving out controversial takes that have left many in confusion.
In many instances, Ndii suggested the economy was far from recovery, stating that the promises made on the campaign trail by the holders of power in the current regime were pointless.
He also would disown himself from the government whenever he sensed public sentiment against it.
"I will not be party to, defend, or take collective responsibility for corruption, lies, taking the public for fools and vomiting on the peoples' shoes," he once said.
