Ugandan Authorities Declare Kenyan MP Babu Owino Persona Non Grata

Ugandan Authorities Declare Kenyan MP Babu Owino Persona Non Grata

Ugandan authorities have banned Embakasi East MP Babu Owino from stepping his foot into the country.

In a letter sent to Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary ambassador Monica Juma, Uganda's Internal Affairs Minister General Haji Odongo accuses Babu of undermining the legitimately elected government of Uganda.

"The purpose of this letter is to make it known that Honorable Babu Owino is officially declared as persona non grata within the borders of Uganda and will not be permitted entry without special clearance from the Ministry of Internal Affairs," reads the letter in part.

This comes after Owino hosted Uganda's Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine in Nairobi last month, where they allegedly made inflammatory remarks against President Kaguta Museveni during public rallies.

"During Bobi Wine's visit to Kenya last month, Babu hosted Wine in a number of functions and events. The duo uttered inflammatory and seditious words against the democratic and legitimate rule of President Yoweri Museveni," General Odongo adds.

Bobi Wine has found himself in trouble with Ugandan authorities in recent months over his criticism of President Museveni's administration.

    Is this the same Bobby Wine twitter users were glorifying and calling for his release. Ugandans beware. You can tell a persons character and their judgement by who they associate with. Bobby Wine and Babu Owino are birds of the same feather.

    He so deserved the treatment he go earlier on

    You are a fool to support a dictator who tortures, maims, and kills its people.

  5. JamamaNov 9, 2018

    Some people deserve that. Any person that associates with the likes of Babu Owino deserves no respect.

    Thank God Kenya was blessed with more than two influential Tribes.Rwanda would be childs play. All the keyboard warriors yapping here would’ve been six feet under like yesterday. Any news is turned into primitive tribal filth.I bet you these are manifestations of deep personal failures and lack of opportunities or education which are transfer to anyone deemed successful. Ask yourselves why some regions are severely underdeveloped while their kin have been reigning the country since independence (3-4). Mara jiggers, pombe, kurarua mbuzi ama nyanyako,memo nyeusi... Shetani ashindwe!!!!!!!
    Learn to direct your anger to the right folks. I pray they stop circumcising ya brains. Kipindu pindu ya mdomo tu. Tibu kwashiorkor na marasmus urudi tuongee
