[Photo|Nasa coalition]President Uhuru Kenyatta has put Embakasi East MP, Babu Owino, on spot, warning him against interfering with voting on October 26th.Uhuru said he received information that residents in Kayole, which lies in Babu's constituency in Nairobi, had been threatened and warned not to vote, something that Owino's NASA coalition, is advocating for."I don't want to name the area MP (Babu Owino) but let him try what he is planning and he will know there are men in this country," warned Uhuru, Monday.During an interview in a local vernacular radio station, Uhuru asked Babu to restrain himself against any acts of violence, that might deny Kenyans their democratic right, to vote."He should not try to visit violence on the people," added Kenyatta.However in a quick rejoinder, the controversial former SONU chairman laughed off the threats, saying: "I can only laugh at this. There will be no election on 26th October."
