Babu dares architect to sue him over Eastleigh building

The Embakasi East MP said he would neither apologise to Nyawanda nor Governor Johnson Sakaja for demanding answers over the tragedy

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has declined to pull down a social media post linking a disputed Nairobi County construction approval to the multi-storey building that collapsed in Eastleigh.

The legislator, through his lawyer Collins Mango, dismissed a demand by advocates representing Okeya Hempstone Nyawanda, who accused him of publishing false and defamatory information linking the registered architect to an approval document for the development on LR/Parcel No. 36/11/40 in Eastleigh, within Kamukunji Sub-county.

“Our client will continue to call upon Governor Sakaja and the relevant County Government authorities, this time round, LOUDER, to explain the circumstances,” Mango said in the letter.

The dispute intensified after Babu questioned Sakaja’s explanation that the collapsed building lacked construction approval.
