Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili  has angered social media users with a post that accused Education CS Fred Matinag’i of influencing University of Nairobi’s Senate to close the institution indefinitely.

The university’s Senate announced on Tuesday morning that it had ordered for its closure due to security concerns.

The young MP, popularly known as Babu Owino, warned that closing of the university merely postponed the problem.

“Matiang’i has ordered university senate to close The University of Nairobi indefinitely. This is not the solution but postponing the problem. Revolution in many countries in the world started from the universities. Comrades power is second after the Holy Spirit power.”

The MP is a former student leader at the university.

Social media users slammed him for meddling in the university’s affairs.
