I will mobilize the youths to protect me- Babu Owino says after security detail withdrawn

Embakasi East Member of Parliament (MP) said that he will mobilize the youths to protect him after his security detail was withdrawn on Wednesday morning 31 January.

"They were asked to leave immediately and deployed elsewhere. Their guns were also confiscated. I can mobilize my youths to protect me. I dare them to arrest me,' said Babu Owino.

The MP also took to his Facebook page and said that he is not moved by the government’s decision to withdraw his security as God is his ultimate protector.

“Jubilee government has withdrawn my security detail .I'm not moved. God is my ultimate protector,” posted the Embakasi East MP

This came a day after the swearing-in of National Super Alliance (NASA) Coalition leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday. Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka said that he missed the oath ceremony as his security detail was withdrawn.

The government has so far withdrawn the security detail of most NASA leaders.

“Mine was the first to be recalled on Tuesday and a few minutes later they recalled security officers attached to Siaya Senator James Orengo and Mbita North legislator Millie Odhiambo,” said ODM Chairman John Mbadi.
