Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu owino has once again found himself in hot water due to his insulting remarks.
This comes in the wake of fresh battle between pro-handshake and Tanga Tanga leaders over the the BBI proposals.
Babu Owino and a host of leaders allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga have been engaging other politicians in fiery rants.
The latest Uhuru-Raila rant by Kandara MP Alice Wahome provided the outspoken MP with a chance to further express his disapproval.
While taking to social media on Saturday morning, he warned the Kandara legislator over disrespecting President Uhuru and Raila Odinga.
In a fiery post, Babu threatened to ‘shave’ every part of Alice Wahome’s body if she doesn’t desist from attacking the two leaders.
“Alice Wahome must respect Baba and President Uhuru or we will shave every part of her body that has hair. This is not a threat it’s a promise.” Babu warned Wahome on social media.

His sentiments did not augur well with a lot of Kenyans online and other National leaders who took to twitter to express their discontent.
In what seemed like a unanimous statement, they termed the comments as shameful and unacceptable.
Weighing in on the matter, KFCB boss Dr. Ezekiel Mutua described it as crude and barbaric and must not be accepted in a civilized society.
“It’s ok for politicians to differ and to exchange barbs for political mileage, but this kind of language from an MP is unacceptable. It’s crude and barbaric and must not be accepted in a civilised society. Our leaders are behaving badly and setting a bad example for the youth!” Mutua commented on Twitter.

We dont have to respect people by force. We can tolerate them. Has that ever occurred to you?

This is not the first time this has happened, as the former SONU chairman has severally used insulting language while criticizing other leaders.
