Raila Likens Babu Owino to South African anti-Apartheid Hero Steve Biko
National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential aspirant Raila Odinga has compared youthful Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino to South African anti-apartheid hero Steve Biko.
The Orange Party leader said that the newly elected MP ‘bright’ future as far as fighting for the rights of Kenyans in concerned.
Having sailed to Parliament right from campus politics, the former Students Organization of Nairobi University (SONU) chairman has made headlines, thanks to the recent series of arrests by police after making controversial statements.
Speaking in Vihiga, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga challenged Kenyan youths to take a lesson from Babu in order to transform the country for the sake of future generations.
“I have seen Babu thrive and he is taking the route of Steve Biko,” he said, adding that the brevity of the first time MP will be a motivation to many youths.
He added: “Do not just relax. This is a call and Babu has opened the way for you. Success comes through hard work and honesty.”
At the helm of student leadership, Steve Biko led the onslaught against apartheid in South Africa before his unprecedented assassination in 70s.
Babu was last week arrested following his slur directed to President Uhuru, but was freed on Sh500,000 cash bail. Moments after the release, the MP was taken in again and was charged the following day with assault. He was again released on bond.

What i understand cannibal Raila to be saying is that his expired parents were dogs.It was better if kihii Owino abused jambazi Uhuru and expired muuaji Kenyatta and leave waMuhuhu alone.Owino should be spending his time at Mayfair Hotel pahali atapata MASHOGA wengine wamutombe na wamumalizie munjikuno.

We Omera usijaribu kuamsha huyo ibilisi Owino, or else ata kwambia unamtamani. This is what he told Sonko when Sonko alimwita shoga. He told him that he has noticed that he has a figure 8, hence he can "tia kitu ndani yake!. Aki he is so dirty, he had Sonko throwing insults never heard before. I just hope this is not witnessed by my mother and elders as sijui watajificha wapi! The shame!

Raila has committed the ultimate crime by comparing a lad Babu Owino with his Excellency the later Nelson Mandela. I think it's time to put Raila in a nursing home. He is going senile. Kenya should not let a full blown dementia candidate to hold it back because he want to want to become President. The whole World is laughing at Kenya now.

@Kenya, you are right. Lakini I think it's poor all of us. He has been given a platform to unleash his hate. Gosh, if this is the new democracy, I would rather have the old Moi government anytime. It's nasty and giving our teens immoral values. Sonko naye nikama amekua possessed na shetani as he could not hold back using the most horrible language I have seen from people in power. Anywhere else, these guys would have lost their positions. What next? Alafu Odinga ana endorse this rotten behavior!
