Embakasi East MP Reveals Why He’s the Only Leader Who Can Save Nairobi!

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has drawn a stark contrast between himself and Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, emphasizing his track record of performance and grassroots connection to the city.

Speaking at an interview, Babu highlighted both his personal journey and professional accomplishments as evidence of his ability to serve Nairobi residents effectively.

The difference between Sakaja and Babu Owino is that you are looking at a basket of knowledge. The difference is like the ground and the sky. Babu is a performer,” a supporter quoted him as saying during the event. Owino pointed to his tenure as MP for Embakasi East, where he claims to have consistently delivered on key projects and initiatives for constituents.

According to Owino, he was ranked as the best performing MP in Kenya for two consecutive years, an accolade he says underscores his dedication and ability to deliver results.

“It shows you clearly that Babu can deliver and has always delivered, from the university,” he added, stressing that leadership should be about duty and action rather than appearances.

The lawmaker also touched on his personal journey to Nairobi, noting the differences in their backgrounds.

Babu came to Nairobi by bus, and Sakaja came to Nairobi by birth. I want to leave Nairobi a better place for those who came by birth,” he said. By highlighting his humble beginnings, Owino sought to appeal to residents who identify with his story of determination and self-made success.

Political analysts note that such messaging is common in campaigns seeking to draw a contrast between politicians from long standing urban elites and those with strong community roots.

Owino’s remarks are expected to resonate with a segment of Nairobi voters who prioritize tangible results over political pedigree.

Beyond the rhetoric, Babu Owino’s campaign has consistently highlighted his initiatives in Embakasi East, including youth empowerment programs, infrastructure projects and educational support for local students.

Supporters argue that these efforts showcase his hands-on approach to governance, setting him apart from other political figures in the city.

As the political climate heats up in Nairobi ahead of upcoming elections, Owino’s emphasis on performance, duty, and grassroots credibility will likely become central themes in his appeal to voters.

While comparisons with Governor Sakaja are inevitable, Owino appears confident that his track record and personal story position him as a strong contender for leadership in the capital.
