Nairobi County Governor Mike Sonko has taken a swipe at his Kiambu counterpart and long time friend Ferdinand Waititu for suggesting that the ongoing demolitions of properties built on riparian or public land be stopped.
Sonko claimed the reason why Governor Waititu alias Baba yao was suddenly in panic mode about the demolitions in Nairobi was because he was one of the land grabbers whose properties could soon be destroyed.

Reacting to Waititu's proposal that the government should move the rivers instead of demolishing people's properties, Sonko told the Kiambu County boss to keep off the affairs of Nairobi County government.
"My good friend and colleague should concentrate on his county. He should know we don't mix friendship with work. Even Weston, my Buru buru Casurina cocobeach plot, Taj mall and many other buildings shall not be spared if found to be on riparian or public land," Sonko stated in a Facebook post seen by TUKO.co.ke on Tuesday, August 14.

The Nairobi governor argued Waititu probably did not understand what a riparian land is and therefore did not know what he was talking about.
"May be he does not know what the definition of a riparian land is...In fact, he needs to tell us the status of a petrol station constructed on a grabbed public access at the junction of mihango and Njiru," Sonko said.

The national government in collaboration with the county government of Nairobi had embarked on a demolition spree targeting buildings erected on public land.
President Uhuru Kenyatta on August 12 warned the demolition exercise would not spare anyone, regardless of who they are in the society.
"No matter how much money you have, no matter how many people in high offices you know, we will not be prevented from achieving our dreams because of impunity," he said.

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has told his Kiambu counterpart Ferdinand Waititu to keep off from the ongoing demolitions of buildings built on riparian land in the capital.
Mr Waititu, commonly referred as Baba Yao, was on Monday the butt of hilarious comments and memes online for opposing the demolitions and instead calling for the owners to be allowed to divert the rivers –at their cost.
Mr Sonko would hear none of Baba Yao's logic, urging him to focus on his county.
In addition, he said he does not mix friendship with business and no one will be spared in the ongoing demolitions.
"My good friend and colleague should concentrate on his county. He should know we don't mix friendship with work. Even Weston; My Buru Buru Casurina Cocobeach plot; Taj mall and many other buildings shall not be spared if found to be on riparian or public land," said Mr Sonko.
He added: "OR May be he does not know what is the definition of a Riparian land and that's why even in campus he was copying me during CATS. In fact he needs to tell us the status of a petrol station constructed on a grabbed public access at the junction of Mihango and Njiru."
The National Environmental Management Authority (Nema) has been bringing down buildings built on riparian landss in Nairobi.
Already, Shell petrol station and Java House in Kileleshwa as well as Southend Mall on Lang'ata Road, Ukay and Oshwal centres in Westlands have been demolished.
