Student leaders have asked Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino to keep off university politics to allow the current leaders to exercise their duties.

Multimedia University student president Robin Boit said Babu Owino had ceased to be a student leader and should therefore stop interfering with student affairs.

“We are asking Babu Owino to stay away and keep himself busy with issues concerning Embakasi East and leave students’ affairs alone,” Boit said.

Kenya University Student Union leaders indicated the Member of Parliament and other former leaders were interfering with the operations of the student unions and asked them to step aside immediately.

Until his election as Embakasi East legislator, Babu Owino was Students Organisation of Nairobi University (Sonu) president, the students' union of the University of Nairobi.
