Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has released what he claims is an official approval document for the multi-storey building that collapsed in Eastleigh, Nairobi, on Friday, October 23.

His post directly contradicts Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja's public statement that no construction plans had been sanctioned by the county.

Babu, posting on Facebook on Sunday, October 25, shared a document showing Application No. PLUPA-COU-000821-N, issued under the Physical and Land Use Planning Act (No. 13 of 2019).
