Embattled Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino says he only fears God and his party leader Raila Odinga.
Last week, police arrested the outspoken legislator on grounds that he had insulted President Uhuru Kenyatta before releasing him on bail.
And at Kisumu on Saturday, Owino dismissed Uhuru as a ‘political infant’ who was brought into politics forcefully.
“Uhuru cannot lecture me because he never invited me to politics just like some people did to him,” he said, amid laughter from his supporters.
Owino added:”I only fear God and Raila Odinga. I will continue rallying behind Odinga because I believe he has remedy for this great country.”
His arrest sparked protests from among University of Nairobi students, a move that has further attracted public condemnation in the matter in which police handled the learners.
During the official opening of parliament, the stylish MP caused drama when he swore allegiance to the opposition leader, Mr Odinga.
