Embakasi East Member of Parliament, Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino, unleashed a stinging attack at Isaac Mwaura a day after his counterpart Junet Mohammed hurled derogatory remarks at the Senator.Owino slammed Mwaura claiming that he has never helped any person with albinism despite holding the position for two terms. Mwaura who is the representative of persons with disabilities in the Kenyan Senate, is also the first Member of Parliament with Albinism.“With his Albinism, ‘Izo’ Mwaura has never helped any albino in Kenya after being nominated for two terms. This time round you must work for you to eat, nothing is for free,” stated Babu via Twitter.

CCTV footage of the alleged shooting incident at Nairobi’s B-Club on January 17, 2020, broke the internet causing widespread anger. Babu’s sentiments, came hardly a day after Junet accused Mwaura of bleaching his skin to land nomination slots in the Parliament.”It seems he bleached himself so he could secure himself nomination to the National Assembly first through the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), then Jubilee and now he has decamped to the Wheelbarrow movement,” said Junet.
