‘I SPENT just Sh4m to win SONU elections’ says UoN's students body Chairman Babu Owino!!

Babu Owino spent Sh4 million in the sonu elections

The newly-elected Students Organisation of
Nairobi University (Sonu) chairman Paul Ongili
aka Babu Owino spent Sh4 million in the
elections.

“ The funds that I used to run my campaigns
came from contributions by students and
friends,” the controversial First Year Law student
told Campus Vibe.
Babu, who will be joining second year next
semester, was the Sonu Chairman two years ago.


He graduated with a First Class in Actuarial
Science and rejoined the university last year to
pursue a Law degree.
“ I am using my new tenure to fight against the
increase of fees in universities,” Babu said.
“ Instead of our government working hard to
make education expensive, it should look for
ways of making it not just affordable but a basic
right for everyone. If they increase the fees, only
a few will be able to afford higher education,” he
added.

Babu has also warned the university against
arbitrary suspension and expulsion of students.
“I will not allow injustice to be committed
against fellow ‘comrades’. I am asking all
suspended and expelled students to come back
to the university upon which we will ensure that
they are readmitted,” he said.
