“I thank President Museveni for supporting BABA’S bid for AUC Chairmanship.

However,as a young leader in Kenya, having grown up in poverty, I know what it means to lack. If you tell me that you’ve slept hungry, I know what it means to lack food because I’ve been through that.

If you tell me that you lack school fees, I will feel you because I know what it is to lack school fees.

Because of the challenges that we face in Kenya and Africa, we as leaders are meant to provide solutions.

As Babu Owino, I stand for a democratic society where a child in Kenya will receive proper medication, education and will equally get a job.

Equally a child in Uganda should receive the same treatment as a child in Kenya.

Because of this, we must offer alternative visions of leadership that will save Africans from the shackles of oppression and the jaws of poverty”, Babu Owino wrote on his Facebook page.
