Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino has yet again dismissed Deputy President William Ruto’s quest for Presidency, arguing that he cannot do better than Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho.

Last month, Mr Owino took DP William Ruto head-on when a video of the latter surfaced online where he was heard purportedly castigating Luo community.

Mr Owino warned the DP, asking him to respect the Luo community. He demanded that National Cohesion and Integration Commission to investigate his utterances.

“As Luos we love Kalenjins and we only differ in ideologies but that does not mean we cannot respect each other…deputy president you must grow up, if you have run out of ideas come back to the school of thought of Raila Odinga,” said the former university student leader.

On Monday, Owino was pictured with Governor Joho at undisclosed location where he yet again castigated the DP.  Apparently, the two are fiercest critics of Deputy President William Ruto.

“My Deputy Party Leader is better than your deputy president,” said Owino without mentioning the name of the DP and Mr Joho directly, although he used their titles.

Dr Ruto remains at pole position to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta. However, he has been subjected to criticism lately, with a section of leaders forming a movement whose aim is to stop him from ascending to power.

For Joho, even though he has announced his intentions to run for Presidency, he has largely lived in the shadow of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who is his political mentor.
