Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has now issued a rather
horrifying threat to Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.
The Nairobi Governor warned Owino to stop insulting
President Uhuru Kenyatta and further insinuated that the MP would be physically
harmed if he insisted on abusing the head of state.
“Uhuru Kenyatta ni rais wa Kenya. Jubilee tuko na ma mafia,
tuko na ma rasta wa jubilee. Tuko na MCA wajuaji kama Mark Ndung’u. Kama
anataka kudungwa, tutamua Mark Ndungu akudunge, tutatuma ma rasta wa jubilee
wakudunge, (Uhuru Kenyatta is the President of Kenya. In Jubilee we have mafia,
we have rasta men, and we have cunning MCAs like Mark Ndung’u. If he wants to
be stabbed, we will send Mark Ndung’u to stab you. We will send Jubilee rasta
men to stab you),” Sonko told a rally in Nairobi.
The City County boss added that he would not sit back in his
fancy office while President Kenyatta was being insulted, adding that he was
not afraid to lose his seat if it came to that.
Owino has landed in unprecedented trouble following
controversial abusive remarks that were allegedly directed at the President
Kenyatta’s mother, Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
After making the remarks on Sunday, there was a public
outcry leading to his arrest on Monday before being arraigned in court on
Tuesday.
The former student leader spent two nights at Kileleshwa
Police station before being released on bail on Wednesday, and shortly after
dramatically re-arrested for a fresh case whose details are not yet clear.
