Waiguru on Monday demanded Kaka pull down his latest song 'Wanjinga Nyinyi' from internet and issue an apology in writing for allegedly damaging her reputation.

While Osiany faulted the Governor's move, Magaya defended her saying it was within her rights to protect her reputation.

Osiany, a former university student leader, said the county boss was misled to go for the musician judging by the backlash she received in the social media after posting demand letter to Kaka.

"Whoever advised Gov. Waiguru to write to Kaka got it ALL wrong. It only exacerbated the anger and fanned the rage more. Now see #IstandWithKingKaka? Yeah," the analyst tweeted.

The hashtag, #IstandWithKingKaka, has been trending since Monday where netizens have vowed to rally behind Kaka while mocking Waiguru over her threats.

Responding to Osiany's tweet, Magaya said the former Devolution Cabinet Secretary did nothing wrong by writing to the musician and predicted a showdown once the case kicks off.

"Individuals have rights to protect their reputations. The theatre of everything will be at the High Court.... no feelings... no emotions .... no cheap popularity ... just facts and the law!!!" he said.

"Legal rights and liabilities. No one has a monopoly to abuse and defame others without concrete facts," Magaya said in another post.
