On Saturday, Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino recorded a statement at Parliament Police Station, alleging an assassination attempt.
According to Mr. Owino, a saloon vehicle with four occupants has been trailing him day and night over the past few months, subjecting him to hateful abuse and life-threatening messages.
“Over the past couple of months, I have been on the receiving end of hateful abuse and indeed threats against my life for my outspoken brand of politics,” he said.
Mr. Owino, known for speaking out in defense of ordinary people without fear or favor, believes his actions have rubbed some people in high places the wrong way.
He has now called on Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai to expedite the probe into the alleged assassination attempt and bring the suspects to book.
“In closing, I will not stop. I shall not stop. Death comes to us all and I know mine will eventually come. I am not afraid of dying for my beliefs and in service to my people. Tialala!”
