Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has added yet another academic milestone on his profile.

The lawmaker is now an Advocate of the High Court, having been admitted to the roll on Friday, May 23.
The feat enrols him among the legal professionals in the country.
He marked it with a touching recall of how he braved the challenges in his childhood to achieve his academic success.
The lawmaker revealed he was from a low-income household, a factor that would have otherwise suppressed his desire to scale heights in academia.
It is his determination and self-drive that have seen him thus far.
"Growing up in the slums of Nyalenda, I noticed with deep concern the constant harassment and humiliation of ordinary Kenyans in the brutal hands of law enforcement agencies most of the time without a clue of what their constitutional rights were. My mother got arrested severally and instead of being arraigned in court would be beaten up by police to pay a bribe from her meagre chang’aa sales proceeds," he said.
