Babu Owino is most proud of his family, which includes his wife and children. His wife, Faith Muthoni Ongili, is an Embakasi East legislator.
Faith has been a pillar of strength for Babu throughout his life, from his time as a student chair at SONU, University of Nairobi, to his current position as an MP in Nairobi County.
It was at the University of Nairobi where Babu and Fridah first met. They’ve been together for a decade now.Fridah Muthoni attended Loreto Girls National School after earning a second class upper division in economics from Nairobi University.
The beautiful couple is now the proud parents of two girls. Firstborn son of Babu Owino and his wife.
Shaffie Weru recalled that Babu Owino had said, “God gave me the best wife, a woman without equal, a woman with a man’s head.”
Fridah doesn’t plan to get involved in politics, says Babu Owino.
She is a nightdreamer. I don’t want to limit her opportunities in any way. In my opinion, she is mature enough to handle independence. I also pray that she will answer God’s call on her life.
I’m not suggesting she enter politics. If she so chooses, she can seek public office. It’s wonderful that she has the best instructor. Babu Owino narrated the story.
