Two serving Kenyan’s MPs were recorded on camera exchanging blows at the country’s Parliament media centre on Tuesday.

 

The MPs are Paul Ongili also known as Babu Owino representing Embakasi East and his Starehe counterpart Charles Njagua (Jaguar).

According to Kenya local media, Mr Owino had walked into the media centre where journalists were keenly following the tabling of the Elections Amendments Law report and then proceeded to the office of the parliamentary media relations officers. Moments later, Mr Njagua walked in demanding, “where is this Babu?” The resulting scuffle saw the two politicians exchanging blows before they were separated by parliamentary orderlies.

We will teach you a lesson Babu, you must respect the President,” Njagua was said to have threatened Babu.

And an angry Mr Owino retorted by asking, “which president? The only president I know is Raila Odinga.”

The two were subsequently whisked away by the parliamentary orderlies.

The two MPs will now appear before the Powers and Privileges Committee and are at a risk of being suspended from attending House sittings for some time.
