Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru has expressed criticism regarding the house that the state has built for the late world marathon champion Kelvin Kiptum, who tragically lost his life in a road accident.

Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru said, "Kiptum's house is the first project ever to be successfully completed by the KK regime. Kweli tutajenga."
