Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has once again sent shockwaves through Kenya’s political landscape, this time with a chilling warning that has quickly gained traction across social media and political circles.
“If you allow them to finish me, you will be next,” Owino declared, framing his current political struggles as part of a broader threat to dissenting voices within the country.
The statement, delivered with characteristic intensity, was less about personal survival and more about what Owino described as a systematic effort to silence outspoken leaders.
He positioned himself as a symbol of resistance, warning that attacks on one vocal politician today could set a dangerous precedent for others tomorrow.
Owino’s message appears directed not only at his supporters but also at fellow politicians and the public at large. In his view, political intimidation does not stop with one target; it expands once fear is normalized.
The remark has been interpreted as a call for vigilance, solidarity, and political courage at a time when tensions remain high.
Supporters argue that Owino is bravely calling out what many fear but hesitate to say publicly. They see his words as a rallying cry against suppression and political exclusion.
Critics, however, accuse him of inflaming tensions and dramatizing political disagreements for effect.
Regardless of where one stands, the impact of Owino’s statement is undeniable. It has reignited debate about political freedom, accountability, and the cost of speaking out in Kenya’s highly charged environment.
As reactions continue to pour in, one thing is clear: Babu Owino has once again forced the nation to confront uncomfortable questions.
Whether his warning is seen as prophetic or provocative, it has ensured that the conversation around power, voice, and political survival is far from over.
