"As the secretary-general, I will expel five members without trial from KYPA."

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino now says he is still the secretary general of the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA).

Speaking on Friday, September 8, Babu said he faked his resignation to test and know his enemies in the association.

“The other day I did say that I had resigned, I wanted to test and see my enemies in KYPA, the people who would start opposing me in KYPA. There is nothing like resignation as the Secretary General of KYPA, I will give a way forward on what should be done in KYPA,” he stated.

Owino went on to say he will expel five MPs from the association who tried a coup to oust him from the secretary general position.

“The registrar of societies did write a letter to KYPA communicating that whatever was done in the sham elections is not recognized and legal. Therefore the coup that was planned by some members of KYPA will not hold. As the secretary-general, I will expel five members without trial from KYPA. I will draft a letter soon,” Babu added.

This comes days after he dismissed reports that he was kicked out as the KYPA secretary-general.

Babu while speaking on Monday said he stepped down from the position to allow other members to serve in the KYPA leadership.

“We did meet as 15 members of parliament from the Azimio la Umoja coalition and I decided as Babu Owino to step down from my position as the secretary general and give a chance to other new members of parliament to get to serve us in various positions,” he said.
