Babu Owino meets Uhuru during Japan-Kenya Conference in Nairobi

 

President Kenyatta on Thursday put-off student leader Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino  over a letter he wrote that demanded for president Barack Obama to give a public lecture at the University of Nairobi during his visit.

The student leader, who rushed to greet the head of state after he had officially opened the Japan-Kenya Conference on infrastructure in Nairobi, was told to shelve his demands and instead turn up for a State House Dinner to be hosted for president Obama

President Kenyatta spoke to Babu as he was leaving the conference hall of Serena hotel and told him, “Wachana na hii mambo ya barua.  President Obama will be free to visit any Instituton he wishes to. Lakinin wewe kuja State house dinner

The said letter has been trending on social media platforms.

It was alleged to have been written by the chairman of the Student Organization of Nairobi University (SONU) and addressed to the US ambassador.
