Babu Owino Responds To Yoweri Museveni After Linking Him To NRM: "We Must Provide Solution"

• Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni caused a tiff in Kenya on Tuesday after attacking a local lawmaker
• He accused Embakasi East MP Babu Owino of partnering with the opposition in Kampala to topple his leadership
• The lawmaker absolved himself of the accusations saying his political undertkings are hinged on the wellness of the African society

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has sought to counter President Yoweri Museveni's remarks against him.

While attending the official launch of Raila Odinga's African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship bid in Nairobi, Museveni accused the lawmaker of allegedly partnering with the Ugandan opposition to challenge his rule.

The veteran head of state claimed Babu had featured in numerous intelligence reports in which he was located in the machinations against the government.

"There are some individuals in Raila's group who don’t know what they are doing. I am a consumer of intelligence services, so I always see reports. There is a character called Babu dealing with anti-NRM groups. I have never accused Babu, but today I am doing it," said Museveni.

But in his measured response, Babu denied being party to the schemes against Museveni, implying he is only invested in the wellness of the African society.

According to him, the challenges faced by Kenyan households are the same as those in Uganda; he is, therefore, involved in finding solutions to them.

"As a young leader in Kenya, having grown up in poverty, I know what it means to lack. If you tell me that you’ve slept hungry, I know what it means to lack food because I’ve been through that. If you tell me that you lack school fees, I will feel you because I know what it is to lack school fees.

As Babu Owino, I stand for a democratic society where a child in Kenya will receive proper medicaton, education and will equally get a job. Equally a child in Uganda should receive the same treatment as a child in Kenya. Because of this, we must offer alternative visions of leadership that will save Africans from the shackles of oppression and the jaws of poverty," he said.
