In Summary


• Owino said the reason behind the messages may be the high cost of living or a range of other reasons, including lack of affection.

• "I don't judge them, I treat it as a challenge because I know that probably there is something this person wants. Either they want to love or financial assistance or guidance," he said.

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has revealed that he receives a couple of explicit images in his Facebook inbox daily.

In an interview with NTV on Tuesday, Owino said on a daily basis, he receives "so many weird things".

"...Nude photos from very beautiful women. I'm like okay, there's a reason why they are doing this. Probably maisha pia ni ngumu," he said.

Owino said the reason behind the messages may be the high cost of living or a range of other reasons, including lack of affection.

"I don't judge them, I treat it as a challenge because I know that probably there is something this person wants. Either they want love or financial assistance or guidance," he said.

"But all in all, I'm just like okay, as a leader, this is what we go through. But dms on a daily basis, napata dms kali sana. Temptations zile serious."

The legislator said leaders have a lot to deal with, including "trash".

Owino said he has at least 18 million messages on Facebook and 6.8 million on Instagram. In his email, he has around 12 million.

"So it's not practically possible to respond to all these, but randomly without choosing on who to respond to. But I'm telling Kenyans to get tired. Probably I'll respond to yours," he said.
