Babu has given the electorates another good reason why they should vote for him come August 8th<\/sup>. The former SONU chairman vowed not to touch his salary once elected MP.<\/p>\n

The outspoken Nairobi University alumnus explained that he would instead channel his salary to benefit the underprivileged in his constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have grown up and known what lack means. I, therefore, made a pledge to my people that what I will earn will go directly to them to help meet the needs of the underprivileged such as orphans,\u201d Babu Owino said during an interview on Kiss FM on Thursday August 3rd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Babu also plans to establish five water distribution points, one per ward, and a monthly cleaning exercise in his constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople in the semi-urban and slum areas lack basic amenities such as water. We will help address and have monthly cleaning exercises to avoid diseases like cholera.\u201d<\/p>\n
