The race to succeed the late Kibra Member of Parliament, Ken Okoth, is shaping up to be a hotly contested one.
Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino on Sunday, October 6, accused Deputy President William Ruto of eyeing a prime piece of property in Kibra.
He made the startling claim during a church service at ACK Holy Trinity Church Makina in Kibera.
"Raundi hii anangoja kijana wake aingie ndio Toy Market iende na mashamba zingine hapa Kibra,(This time he wants his guy to secure the Parliamentary seat so that he can grab Toy Market land," the vocal legislator stated.
He went on to blast McDonald Mariga for claiming to be looking out for the people of Kibra, yet he had no idea what challenges they faced.
In his scathing attack, the Embakasi East MP went on to mock the former footballer for refusing to play for Harambee Stars over money owed to him.
He also trolled Mariga for scoring only six goals in six years and never sponsoring any local stars from AFC Leopards Football Club, in his career as a footballer in Italy.
The firebrand legislator went on to claim that President Uhuru Kenyatta fully supported ODM Party's Imran Okoth as the real handshake candidate.
"President Uhuru agreed to support Imran, Raila also supports him, we should not embarrass baba," stated the Embakasi MP who compared Uhuru and Raila's relationship to a marriage.
