Babu Owino Rejects Sakaja’s Apology Demand and Fires Back

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino refuses to apologise to Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja or the alleged developer of a 16-storey building that collapsed in Eastleigh. His lawyers say the six-hour deadline to remove his posts was inadequate and argue that his statements raise public-interest questions about safety, regulation and accountability. The demand letter accused Owino of defaming the developer by sharing a county approval notice on social media; Owino’s lawyers say their client is an architect, not a physical planner. The MP says he will continue seeking answers from Sakaja and county authorities.
