Friday, October 24, 2025 - Flamboyant city lawyer, Donald Kipkorir, has spoken out following the arrest of his close friend, flashy businessman Gor Evans Semelang’o, who is currently jailed in Dubai over an alleged commercial dispute.
In a statement shared on Friday, October 24th,
Kipkorir revealed that Semelang’o’s incarceration stems from a shareholder
disagreement with a Kenyan woman over a Dubai-based club.
"My BFF Gor Semelang’o has been incarcerated in Dubai
over a Club Business shareholder dispute with a Kenyan lady.”
“In Dubai, commercial disputes, which are ordinarily
civil,are criminal," he said.
He added that he had reached out to Foreign Affairs
Principal Secretary, Korir Sing’Oei, to help mediate the matter diplomatically,
urging for an amicable resolution.
"I have asked our good Foreign Affairs Principal
Secretary, Korir Sing'Oei, to use our diplomatic relations with the UAE to
amicably resolve the issue.”
“It is not right for a Kenyan to use the Dubai Legal System
against another Kenyan to settle a dispute that is contractual," he added.
Kipkorir also praised Semelang’o’s patriotism and past
contributions to youth empowerment, expressing hope that the issue will be
resolved swiftly.
“Gor Semelang’o is a good man with a big heart. He was the
Chairman of the Youth Development Fund during Mwai Kibaki’s Presidency, when
the Fund was very effective.”
“And Gor is one of the few Kenyans who has no tribalism in
his bones. I pray for him. And I am optimistic the PS, who is my friend, will
expeditiously bring the matter to a close," he concluded.
However, his arrest has sparked speculation of links to
money-laundering.
His arrest also comes after INTERPOL announced the arrest of
83 individuals, including six Kenyans (whose identities were not revealed)
across six African countries following a crackdown on money laundering and
terrorism financing.
