Nairobi Senator and ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has condemned Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni’s remarks during Raila’s AUC bid targeting Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.
Through his X account, Sifuna criticized Museveni for using a presidential Podium to level such accusations on a young Kenyan leader.
President Museveni, who has been in power for 38 years, accused the Embakasi East Member of Parliament of involvement with the anti-National Resistance Movement (NRM).

“There are some individuals in Raila’s group who I don’t think know what they’re doing. You know I am a consumer of Intelligence Service, so I always see intelligence reports. There’s a character called Babu; I always see Babu! Babu! Babu! dealing with anti-Ugandan and anti-NRM groups. I have never accused him, but now I’m accusing Babu,” Museveni stated.
The Nairobi Senator insisted that any grievances against Babu Owino should be addressed through diplomatic channels and legal procedures.
“Whatever beef Museveni has with Babu Owino, I strongly object to the manner of his attack on a young Kenyan leader on our own soil. Kenya is a country ruled by law and if there is any objectionable conduct on the part of Babu,” Sifuna said.
” there are diplomatic channels to convey that to Kenyan Authorities and let the law take its cause. But to use a Presidential podium to make such grave accusations against a Kenyan is a NO!” he added.
