“I, Babu Owino, having been elected a Member of Parliament do swear in the name of  the Almighty God that I would bear true faith and allegiance to the people of the Republic of Kenya and Raila Amollo Odinga.” He said sending Parliament into fits of laughter.

“That he forgot. ” Babu said amid the laughter.

A situation which forced the clerk of the National Assembly Michael Sialai Rotich to ask him to retake his oath in a proper manner.

“Just hold on, the Constitution says that it (the oath) should be taken in the form that it is prescribed. I am asking you to start again and this time in the proper manner. ” Sialai said.

“I, Babu Owino, having been elected a Member of Parliament do swear in the name of Almighty God that I would bear true faith and allegiance to the people of the Republic of Kenya that I will obey, respect uphold, preserve, protect and defend this Constitution of the Republic of Kenya and that I will faithfully and conscientiously discharge the duties of a Member of Parliament, so help me God.
