Babu Owino believes that Women should only be celebrated through empowerment rather than expressing 'empty' quotes.

"Women don't need to be "empowered" and"celebrated" through quotes, posts and poems.How about we invest in them, hire them and most importantly pay them. #WomensDay," he tweeted.

The controversial first-time legislator has been in public limelight over 'bad' image.Here are some of the reactions from KOT after he sent his message.

@sarahsomba @Babu_OwinoLeo umegonga ndipo 👏

@Tony Silva@Babu_OwinoToday yu've talked as a man

@Nadine @Babu_OwinoI agree with you. Women should be recognised and valued every day of the year, not just this 1 day. When is the "International Men Day"? the rest of the year?

@mambohivi@Babu_OwinoClearly you understand very few challenges that affect women. It's not all about economic empowerment... It's part of it but not all of it.

@Avivo_Ayodi @Babu_OwinoTrue Kiongozi👌👌wisdom

@Sharonawour@Babu_OwinoYes Babu, this is so right. Quotes won't pay bills at the ebd of the day

@AsonyAmbani@Babu_OwinoYou have talked like ten wise men.

@Babu_Owino@Kanda_kis If you could only employ a few of us including ME, then my women's Day would have been made, and will continue vouching for the rest of the women out here
