Babu Owino Lashes Out After Uhuru's Betrayal

The handshake seems to be getting into shaky grounds following Embakasi East MP Babu Owino's reaction moments after President Uhuru Kenyatta endorsed McDonald Mariga for Kibra Parliamentary seat.

Taking to his Facebook page, the lawmaker accused the president of not being honest with the handshake between him and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

He further termed Uhuru’s action as an act of betrayal.

“Baba (Raila) must be very careful with this thing called handshake. No fruits so far, we can’t be duped twice.

“President Uhuru must be genuine with this handshake. Baba, we must be very careful if the marriage is void because one party is incompetent for being in a subsisting marriage,” lamented Owino.

Uhuru, on Wednesday, September 18, invited Jubilee Party’s kibra by-election candidate and finally endorsed him at State House.

In a statement sent to newsrooms, the president wished the former soccer star, who was accompanied by the Party’s secretary-general, Raphael Tuju, success in the by-elections scheduled for November 7.
