babu-owino-1Apparently, controversial University of Nairobi student leader Paul Ongili Owino commonly known as Babu Owino earns a meagre Ksh 6,000 per month.
The controversial student revealed his salary in an interview with Standard Digital. He also spoke about his controversial re-election, alleged ‘dirty dance’ in public and his relationship with Uhuru Kenyatta’s personal assistant Jomo Gecaga.
“I earn Sh6,000 per month some allowances here and there. I ran for this position purely because of my hunger to serve comrades. I ensure that Sonu money is used in bursaries for needy students and in our Secretariat and Parliament which is bigger than the National Assembly,” He was quoted.
On his relationship with Jomo Gecaga, he said: “Jomo is my personal friend. I have known him for the last seven years. He is also my business partner and we attend the same church, besides doing many other things together. And since I don’t ask people when they meet their friends, I wonder why someone should worry when I meet mine.”
He also confirmed that controversial businessman Paul Kobia contributed KSh 2 million towards his latest campaign that saw him win a controversial election which has resulted to riots in the university and indefinite closure.
The leader has also said that he has his eye on a political seat beyond student politics. He will be vying for the Embakasi parliamentary seat in 2017, then governorship in 2022 and the presidency in 2027.
“I will be vying for a parliamentary seat in 2017, then governorship in 2022 and the presidency in 2027. I am based and have interests in Nairobi, so the first two seats I will contest will be in Nairobi. I am however a nationalist and that’s why I believe that one day, I will be the president of Kenya.” He said.
