Meet Babu Owino when he was still a street preacher

Controversial Embakasi East MP Babu Owino started out as a preacher before he gathered enough confidence to join campus and national politics.

Babu Owino is among those public figures whose ‘started from the bottom now we here’ stories just inspire you. The controversial MP joined University of Nairobi in 2008 as a pauper but he left as a rich man.

Babu is the longest serving student leader in Kenya, he was elected the chairman of Student Organisation of Nairobi University (SONU) in the academic year 2011/2012, a position he held until 2017 when he quit to vie for Embakasi East parliamentary seat.

Before the glitz and fame, Babu used to be a preacher in the alleys of University of Nairobi. Video circulating on social media shows the controversial Embakasi East MP preacher to fellow comrades in campus.
