Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino now says he learnt a lot on how to insult opponents from US President Donald Trump and a number of political elders in Kenya.
It's from the insults, he argues, he was able to coin own abuses while tackling opponents. According to him, since they are elders, he thought that whatever they were doing was right.
Mr Owino came under immense criticism early this week when he went ballistic against DP William Ruto, who he accused of undermining opposition leader Raila Odinga.
"Even Trump taught me some, then I devised my own because I knew that was the right direction given from the politically experienced. Let the old teach us the young the right way and morals of life. No apologies still. Raila must be respected," he said.
"I learnt this politics of hurling insults from my political elders. I listened when Baba was called Mganga consistently (imagine how a mganga’s shrine looks like). When he was called a mad man, when he was called a lord of poverty, when he was called Kipii(uncircumcised)."
President Trump, who will be seeking re-election in 2020, is not a stranger to hard tackling politics. The business mogul beat former First Lady Hillary Clinton in 2016.
In recent weeks, he has been at loggerheads with congresswoman among them IIhan Omar, who represents Minnesota 5th District, accusing her of supporting terrorism.
Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) boss Ezekiel Mutua is among those who have castigated Babu for using filthy language to refer to the DP.
He said that such language is not acceptable at all.
"When national leaders use the vulgar language on each other like Hon. Babu Owino did on the DP yesterday, why are we blaming that young boy for doing a vulgar video, using unpalatable language?
"When preachers like Pastor Ng'ang' a do the crazy things he's doing for "trending" and controversy, why are we shocked when our kids copy him?” he said.
