Babu Owino merits a mention on this site at least twice a week. He is that fiery and newsworthy! Now what has he gone and done? He was once again involved in a public spat, this time with the police. The Embakasi East Member of Parliament and several other opposition MPs caused drama at the JKIA after they attempted to forcefully enter the precincts of the airport, for a press briefing.
While police insisted that the airport is a protected area, the defiant leaders led by Babu Owino, Siaya Senator James Orengo and Homabay Woman Representative Gladys Wanga, insisted:
“We must assess the security of the airport ahead of the arrival of our leader Raila Odinga.”
A video has now emerged of the altercation. between Babu and airport security officials. He is heard saying:
“Where You elected by any person? This is a public place my friend. It is restricted to who?”
Here is the video clip below:

The MP, Ruaraka MP Tom Kajwang, and former Starehe parliamentary aspirant Steve Mbogo, were later in the day arrested while heading to a rally in Kibera.
Babu Owino wrote on social media concerning his arrest:
“So the idiots have released me and stating that I was on a motorbike without a helmet.A lizard in the village can’t become a crocodile in the city.what charge is this surely or sideshows from the police.why have they released me so prematurely?”
Hehehe! This man has a talent for insults! Calling the police lizards in addition to idiots. There can only be one Babu!
