Controversial Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino maintains that he will not apologise to Deputy President William Ruto, following onslaught against him.

In a recent rally at Kibra, Mr Owino went ballistic against Dr Ruto, using some of unprintable words, a move that has irked some of DP's supporters across the country.

But in a Facebook post on Thursday, the youthful legislator remained defiant, arguing that he learnt politics of insults from his elders.

Further, he added, those piling pressure on him to withdraw are the same people who used to abuse his party leader, Raila Odinga during political campaigns.

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).

"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.

Mr Owino also cautioned Odinga against handshake on Wednesday, a move that could further cause anxiety within ODM given that Raila is closely working with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

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.
