President Uhuru Kenyatta has warned Embakasi East MP Babu Owino against instigating violence in the constituency during Thursday polls.
Uhuru said the youthful legislator is 'at liberty to insult him' as long as he doesn't incite his electorates to cause violence.
He said the the remarks do not cause him sleepless nights as many would want to be made to believe.
"That young man keeps on hurling insults to me but let me tell him categorically, if he try to sprout violence, he will know that people were born."
Uhuru spoke for the first time, since Babu's arrest over 'mtoto wa mbwa' remarks, during an interview with venacular radio stations at State House, Nairobi.
The MP was charged following the remarks he made at a public rally in Kibera.
The sentiments angered Jubilee supporters sparking protests.
He was charged with subversion, insulting Uhuru and incitement to violence.
Babu denied the charges. He spent two nights in police cells and was eventually released on Sh200,000 bail.

Afterwards, Starehe MP Charles Njagua engaged in a fistfight with the legislator at Parliament's media center over the same.
Njagua, popularly known as musician Jaguar, is said to have asked Babu to stop insulting the president hence the fight.
The first time legislator promised to "square it out" with Babu
if he continues to insult Uhuru and the presidency.
"Babu should stop insulting the President. If he does not, we also know how to insult. We are youthful leaders, we will square it out."
The legislator said Babu's reaction, after he approached him with his warning, provoked him to act.
