Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has accused Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja of orchestrating the chaos witnessed in the capital on Tuesday, blaming him for sponsoring goons who unleashed violence on innocent civilians.
The outspoken legislator claimed the attacks were carried out with the backing of senior government officials, terming the acts as organised terror disguised under the cover of anti-street protests.
Babu, who has been a vocal critic of Sakaja's leadership, condemned the violence, calling it a calculated assault on democracy and public safety.
He vowed to use all avenues available to ensure such "state-enabled" criminality is stopped. "The recent attacks by goons on innocent people are not just acts of cowardice but a direct assault on the values we hold dear as a society.
