Embakasi East Member of Parliament Paul Ongili, alias Babu Owino, claims that there is an attempt to assassinate him.
Babu recorded a statement at Parliament Police Station on Sunday claiming that unknown people tried to assassinate him on Saturday.
Babu said that four people driving a saloon car have consistently trailed him day and night over the last few months.
“Over the past couple of months, I have been on the receiving end of hateful abuse and indeed threats against my life for my outspoken brand of politics,” said Babu.
He added: “I am known for speaking out in defense of ordinary people without fear or favor. This seems to be rubbing some people in high places the wrong way. Regardless, I have done my duty to the people fearlessly and will continue to do so until the Lord calls me home.”
He asked Inspector-General of Police Hillary Mutyambai to speed up investigations into the alleged attempt on his life and bring the suspects to book.
“I will not stop. I shall not stop. Death comes to us all and I know mine will eventually come. I am not afraid of dying for my beliefs and in service to my people,” noted Babu.

Snippets of gossip by a couple of bloggers point to Babu having taken money from Ruto but didn't deliver. If you recall, he was hospitalized a couple of days prior to Kibra elections(https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pulselive.co.ke/news/embakasi-east-mp-…). Apparently, he could not deliver(euphism for rigging or buying votes) despite taking a substantial amount of money from Ruto and faked illness to get out it....he has yet to refund the money. Ruto is a very angry man lately and is apparently seeking revenge on anyone who lied to him including the likes of Khalwale.
Such stupid uncircumcised idiots should just b dealt with amicably.Giki kihii belong to hell.He don't have manners
Kwani "mtoto wa umbwa" alituma fisi kwako? Outspoken? Ha!
