Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino was barred from participating in the approval hearing for Education Cabinet Secretary nominee Professor George Magoha, the man who sent chills down his spine while he was President of the Students Union at University of Nairobi.
Prof. Magoha was by then the Vice Chancellor.
Babu was barred after National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi ruled that his request to be incorporated in the session as a friend of the committee was un-procedural.
He said Owino should have instead written to his office seeking permission to be incorporated in the session seeking permission.
The House Standing order 195 states that a non-member of a committee wishing to participate in a session should write to the Speaker of the House 24 hours prior to the start of the session.
