Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has continued his onslaught against Deputy President William Ruto.
In a tweet on Wednesday, the lawmaker said that the second in command is not Raila’s equal.
He divulged that Ruto should respect Raila. He made the reference after he received backlash for using vulgar language during Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) campaign for its candidate Imran Okoth.
Babu said that they will show Ruto dust in the by-election. He later insisted that he is not apologetic because that is what is expected from him in reference to his relationship with the African Union Special Envoy.
“Those with feelings wapeleke kwa crematorium.Raila must be respected by Ruto,” he said.
The remarks of the lawmaker have not augured well with some leaders.
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.
