Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has said that his life is in danger.
The outspoken legislator said he has been receiving threats to his life and abuses because of his brand of politics.
Babu stated that the threats have been increasing in the past few days, adding that four unknown individuals who have been following him in a saloon car made an attempt on his life.
The Embakasi East MP further said that he had reported the matter to Parliament Police Station, as he attributed the attempt on his life, to people who do not like his vocal nature.
He also pointed out that death comes to everyone and nothing will stop him from serving his people, and standing by his beliefs.
“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.”
“I am known for speaking out in defense of ordinary people without fear or favor. This seems to be rubbing some people in high places the wrong way. Regardless, I have done my duty to the people fearlessly and will continue to do so until the Lord calls me home.”
“In recent weeks, this vitriol has been getting increasingly worse and over the last few days, I can report that I am a targeted man. I have been consistently followed during the day and at night by a saloon vehicle that I now know with four occupants. Yesterday, these men made an attempt on my life!”
“I have reported this attempt today at Parliament Police Station under OB21/17/11/2019 at 1728HRS. I call upon the Inspector General of Police to immediately launch investigations into this issue and bring those behind these assassination attempts 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!” read Babu Owino’s post.
