I won’t withdraw or apologise! Babu Owino refuses to honour Speaker’s orders

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino on Wednesday refused to honour Speaker Moses Wetangula’s orders to apologise and withdraw sentiment he made on the floor of the house.

Babu was making his point when it was interrupted by Gatundu South MP Gabriel Kagombe, leading to a war of words between the two.

Babu Owino: Can you shut up as I pump knowledge in your empty mind

Gabriel Kagombe: You are beating drums of war

Babu Owino: I don’t respond to fools

Speaker Wetangula: Respect begets respect. Withdraw and apologise

Babu Owino: I will not. You can give the mic to someone else

However, Babu did not heed the orders only choosing to withdraw the statement but not apologise and he went ahead to quote scripture in Book of Proverbs 26:4-5 – “Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. The self-confident fool thinks too highly of himself and his opinions, and he shares them freely.”
