Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko publicly defended his actions after Pastor Ng'ang'a criticized him for publicizing a confrontation with his son-in-law over alleged domestic violence against Sonko's daughter. Sonko stated he publicized the video to raise awareness about gender-based violence (GBV).

• Sonko published his defense video on November 24, 2025, responding to Pastor Ng'ang'a's televised criticism on November 23, 2025.
• Pastor Ng'ang'a argued that Sonko should have resolved the matter privately to avoid negative impacts on the children and the marriage system.
• Sonko emphasized that GBV cases should not be silenced, urging Kenyans to speak up, especially as the world commemorates the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
