Embakasi East Member of Parliament (MP) reveals he has not taken alcohol for three years.
In an exclusive interview with Nairobi News the second-term legislator says the decision was a personal one.
"On Friday evenings I can go to the club but only to play pool because I don't drink anymore. Because enough was enough for me. It was time for me to quit alcohol, the bible says if your eye makes you sin you remove that eye, if your hand makes you sin remove it," he shared.
"When I was taking alcohol, I enjoyed it so much and I don't judge anyone who takes alcohol but it was enough for me. I made a decision in January 2020 and up to date, I have never tasted alcohol.
It was a personal decision because I believe once you stop indulging in alcohol or any other drug then your mind functions very well. I function better and more productive when sober."

The father of two also revealed that his wife Faith Muthoni Ongili really prayed for him to stop alcohol.
"Long ago, when I used to drink, my wife would pray for me. Mimi niko kwa bar yeye ananiombea. But God answered her prayer and I stopped taking alcohol," he added.
Babu also notes that he is equally a prayerful person and starts his day by praying with his wife.
"I first thing I do is pray, in my religion, the bible says, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. I put God first because when you kneel before God you can stand before any man."
