Published on September 19, 2019, Babu Owino, the Embakasi East Member of Parliament, has expressed his disappointment with President Uhuru Kenyatta's decision to support McDonald Mariga in the Kibra Parliamentary seat.

According to Owino, Uhuru's action is a betrayal of the handshake between him and Raila Odinga, the ODM leader.

On his Facebook page, Owino wrote, 'Baba (Raila) must be very careful with this thing called handshake. No fruits so far, we can't be duped twice.'

Owino further accused Uhuru of not being honest with the handshake, terming his action as a betrayal act.

He also warned Raila to be careful if the handshake is void, claiming one party is incompetent for being in a subsisting handshake marriage.

Uhuru's endorsement of Mariga at State House has sparked controversy, with Owino being one of the vocal critics.
