Uganda President Yoweri Museveni has hit out at Embakasi East MP Babu Owino over his alleged involvement in the country’s politics.

Museveni on Tuesday at Nairobi’s State House claimed he receives intelligent reports that harbor Babu's names almost always.

According to Museveni, Babu Owino supports the anti-National Resistance Movement (Uganda's ruling party) and is a close ally to Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine.

“There are some individuals in Raila's group who I don’t think know what they are doing. I am a consumer of intelligence services…I always see intelligence service reports. There's a character called Babu. I always see Babu dealing with anti-NRM groups in Uganda,” said Museveni.
