Babu Owino's early morning tweet on Uhuru sparks heated debate

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino set social media ablaze on Thursday morning after he declared that President Uhuru Kenyatta will be the next Prime Minister of the Republic on Kenya.

In his early morning tweet, Owino argued that the Head of State is too young to retire from Politics at a time this country still needs him.

“President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta is the next Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya. My President is still Young and we need him in the next Government,” tweeted Babu Owino.

The statement prompted hundreds of Kenyans to join the conversation with varying opinions.

A section argued that they are tired of Kenyatta’s leadership and he should just finish his second term and go home, while others pointed out that there is no way the nature of Kenyan politics will allow him (Uhuru) to retire.

Kenya will see the return of the position of Prime Minister if the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Task-force proposals are to be implemented in full.
