The lawyer mourned his mother saying that it was a grief without a pang, void, dark and drear.

Mr Kipkorir has been giving updates about the condition of his mother on his official social media accounts.

Also known for his political opinion on social media, Mr Kipkorir supported opposition leader Raila Odinga who lost to President Dr William Ruto.

After the loss, Mr Kipkorir asked Mr Odinga to accept the outcome and give President Ruto humble time to run the affairs of the country.

On April 27, 2023, the Head of State invited the lawyer to State House where the two appeared to settle their differences and close ranks.

President Ruto also sent his best wishes to his mother who was recovering at the time.

“Then in a one-on-one with him, the president inquired on the health of my mother who has stomach cancer. He also asked about my village Cheptongei,” Mr Kipkorir said.

He said that the Head of State also informed him that he had plans of transforming the country and also improve the economy.
