In a recent parliamentary exchange, Babu Owino, the Embakasi East MP, offered a sharp and witty legal lesson to Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa.
Owino, known for his bold rhetoric and charisma, responded to Barasa in a manner that was both confrontational and humorous.
In a playful yet pointed attack, Owino offered what he described as a “free legal lesson” in jurisprudence to Barasa, who has been embroiled in legal and political controversies.
Owino’s remarks, including phrases like “Piga ua, vunja shingo, kanyaga kichwa” (loosely translated as “hit, break the neck, and step on the head”), were meant to emphasize his confidence in legal matters and to humorously intimidate his political rival.
This exchange highlights the intense political rivalry between the two MPs, who are both known for their aggressive political styles.
Barasa, having faced legal issues related to violent incidents, was clearly a target of Owino’s sharp remarks.
Babu Owino, who has faced his own legal challenges in the past, including a high-profile case involving DJ Evolve, continues to assert his dominance in public spaces through his fiery speeches.
