Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has sent out a tweet that most Kenyans have overwhelmingly agreed with.
According to the vocal and controversial MP, Kenyan politicians have killed the future of our country by cultivating hatred and tribalism.
“The only two gifts we politicians have given Kenyans are hatred and tribalism. We have killed the future of this nation,” said the MP’s tweet.
Babu’s tweet got the attention of many Kenyans who follow him and they all agreed with his views, some saying that there was hope for change now that he had acknowledged it.

Here’s how some responded;
Now that you acknowledge it, there is hope. Acceptance is the beginning of change. As politicians, having realized this...you have an opportunity to change your course. Take it....
This statement should be pinned at the Parliament Entrance in Red.
There is always room for improvement, you as a leader should now focus on building the bridges and preach tolerance.
Thank you for recognizing your role in that.
Is good that you have back to your senses to realize that one.
Very true corruption as well mumetumaliza hata kifedha
When the country had just started healing is when things are going backwards, not again. Bitterness is creeping in and what for example is being done to Gen Miguna is very inhumane and hatred will prevail whatsoever. Am very disappointed.
