Babu Owino to Uhuru Kenyatta: Get me out of the fire now that you’ve reconciled with Raila Odinga

Babu Owino fell out with Uhuru Kenyatta when he called him ‘mtoto wa mbwa’. The Embakasi East MP was arrested and harassed by the police in a move that was interpreted as retaliation by Uhuru.

Babu has also been fighting in court to retain his seat as Embakasi East MP. The lawmaker’s woes is thought to be the work of State House to frustrate him for being a fierce critic of Jubilee administration.

Justice Joseph Sergon nullified the election of Babu Owino as the Embakasi East MP on March 2nd even after the court ordered vote recount which Babu won.

New dawn

Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta reconciled to the surprise of Kenyans. The two rivals announced that they had decided to forget the past and were going ahead to work together to forge a new path for Kenyans.

Babu Owino now wants president Uhuru to stop frustrating him in the wake of the reconciliation. The firebrand politician asked Uhuru to ‘remove him from fire’.

“Mr speaker as Babu Owino like stories in the Bible about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Mr Speaker these three gentlemen were put in a furnace to burn to death. But Mr speaker they were put because they did not obey the king then. Mr speaker they came out of the furnace stronger. And Mr speaker i would like to tell the president Uhuru Kenyatta that he has put Babu Owino in fire, and he has burned and he is strong. I do not want to be stronger than this Mr speaker. Let him remove me from the fire,” said Babu Owino while speaking in parliament.
