Babu Owino Freed on Bond, Barred From Taking Alcohol

written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino is finally free.

On Monday evening, the court ruled that the embattled MP should post a Ksh10 bond, which will be used to pay for the treatment of DJ Evolve, the man he was arrested for shooting in the neck during a night club altercation.

He was ordered to pay the hefty amount in four installments, with the first payment sufficing to guarantee his release.

He has also been restricted from taking alcohol or any narcotic drug.

The family of the victim, Felix Odhiambo Orinda, had opposed Babu’s release on bond in a court session that was not without drama.

The case had earlier taken a dramatic twist in court after one of the Babu’s supporters was arrested for shouting at a lawyer from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) office as the pre-bail hearing was ongoing.

Babu is represented by lawyers Dunstan Omari, Cliff Ombeta and five others.

Omari had pleaded with the court to release the Embakasi East MP so that we could proceed with his parliamentary duties to avoid losing his seat.

Babu had, on January 20, denied two counts – an unlawful attempt to cause the death of the Nairobi DJ and carrying a firearm while drunk and disorderly – following a gun drama at Nairobi’s B-Club on January 17.

The embattled lawmaker is accused of unlawfully attempting to end the life of Orinda after shooting him in the neck.

The offence commonly referred to as accessory after the fact to murder attracts life imprisonment.

“Any person who becomes an accessory after the fact to murder is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for life,” Section 222 of the Penal Code reads.

Owino also faced a second charge arising from his disorderly conduct while armed, the prosecution telling the court the legislator violated Sections 33 and 31 (1) of the Firearms Act.

The Act (Section 33) prescribes imprisonment for a term not exceeding a year, a fine not exceeding Sh10,000 or both for any person found guilty of carrying a firearm while drunk or disorderly.

CCTV footage from the club showed Babu shooting the DJ, while smoking shisha, and surrounded by his friends – including a lady who was seated just next to him.

The DJ is still admitted to Nairobi Hospital having undergone surgeries to remove a bullet that was lodged in his neck.

Owino had failed to appear in court on Thursday, January 23, in a case he is charged with uttering abusive words against President Uhuru Kenyatta because he was reportedly unwell and had been suffering from chest pains.

Babu Owino will be in the custody of the prison authorities until Monday when the court will decide whether he should be granted bail.

Babu Owino’s Latest Raila Remark Lands Him in Deep Trouble

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has been making headlines out of controversies, some of which have been embraced by his supporters.

Just recently, the youthful MP was in trouble with Kenyans and a section of leaders after telling Kandara MP Alice Wahome to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and AU envoy Raila Odinga failure to which she would have every part of her body shaven.

However, the latest remark made by the controversial MP on ODM leader Raila Odinga seems to have gotten Kenyans on the wrong side.

Babu Owino on Thursday evening declared that “This time Raila will be the President by ballot or bullet”.

While the former Prime Minister has said it is too early to discuss the 2022 race, politicians and pundits say he would be the right candidate to face off with Deputy President William Ruto, the likely candidate of the ruling Jubilee Party.

However, he remains the man to watch ahead of the 2022 elections, with opinion divided on whether or not he should contest the presidency.

Following his remarks, many faulted him for inciting violence advising that Raila is among the despots in Kenya that will fall.

A number preferred to stand with self declared revolutionist lawyer Miguna Miguna over Babu’s choice for president.

Here are some of the reactions on Babu Owino’s remarks.

May The President Take His Clothes And Shoes Too, Babu Owino Roars After Ruto Being Locked Out of Home

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino now wants President Uhuru Kenyatta to take some of Deputy President William Ruto’s personal effects after locing him out of his official residence.

Reports by Daily Nation on Sunday indicated that Ruto was denied access to his official residence in Mombasa on Wednesday.

According to the local daily, Ruto arrived in Mombasa at midmorning on Wednesday and proceeded to attend to his scheduled business of the day.

In the evening, he was scheduled to spend the night at the newly-refurbished former Coast Provincial Commissioner’s official residence.

The house was converted to the DP’s official house in a bid to cut costs when the DP travels to the coast region.

In the evening, at around 4pm, he retreated to the residence, where he found staff packing his personal belongings, which had been lodged there earlier in the day in anticipation that he would spend the night there.

The DP was taken aback by the turn of events and, upon further inquiry, he was told that government staff had received instructions to remove Mr Ruto’s personal effects from the house.

Babu Owino now says that the DP can spend his nights in one of his hotels.

He says that President Kenyatta should not at any point be blamed over the incident that happened to Ruto in Mombasa.

“Dp can stay at one of his many hotels in kenya worth billions of shillings which was bought with stolen money if he feels locked out of his official residence. Lets not blame President Uhuru at a time when he’s dealing with a thief. May the President take his clothes and shoes too,” posted the youthful MP.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Moral cop Ezekiel Mutua has slammed Embakasi East MP Babu Owino over his latest remarks against Kandara MP Alice Wahome.

Babu Owino on Saturday took to social media promising to shave every part of Alice Wahome that has hair should she fail to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and former premier Raila Odinga.

“Alice Wahome must respect Baba and President Uhuru or we will shave every part of her body that has hair.This is not a threat it’s a promise,” Babu Owino posted.

Mutua says politicians are okay to exchange barbs for political mileage but Babu Owino’s language is unacceptable.

He termed the language as crude and barbaric, noting that the language must not be accepted in a civilized society.

Mutua says political leaders are behaving badly and setting a bad example for the youth.

“It’s ok for politicians to differ and to exchange barbs for political mileage, but this kind of language from an MP is unacceptable. It’s crude and barbaric and must not be accepted in a civilised society. Our leaders are behaving badly and setting a bad example for the youth!” he posted.

Dr Mutua’s comment came moments after Nairobi women representative Esther Passaris tore into Babu Owino over the same remarks.

Passaris termed the post as a disrespect to women, urging Babu Owino to pull it down.

“Babu respect women. You can only shave your wife not a fellow legislator, or any other woman without their explicit consent. Any action to the contrary will be an act of defilement. I am extremely disappointed with this post. Pull it down. There’re boundaries we should not cross,” she tweeted.

Go Shave Your Wife! Passaris Tears Into Babu Owino Over His Promise to Shave Alice Wahome

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino’s promise to shave every part of Kandara MP Alice Wahome should she fail to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has attracted Nairobi Woman MP Esther Passaris’ fury.

Passaris tore into Babu Owino moments after his post went viral, telling him that he could only shave his wife and not a fellow legislator.

Passaris further reminded the youthful MP that he could as well shave any other woman without their explicit consent.

According to Passaris, any action to the contrary will be an act of defilement.

She expressed her disappointment with Babu Owino’s post, urging him to pull it down.

“Babu respect women. You can only shave your wife not a fellow legislator, or any other woman without their explicit consent. Any action to the contrary will be an act of defilement. I am extremely disappointed with this post. Pull it down. There’re boundaries we should not cross,” she posted.

Babu Owino made the post following recent attacks on Uhuru and Raila from Alice Wahome.

A few days ago, Wahome blasted Uhuru and Raila, arguing that they are working together to see Uhuru remain in power after his term comes to an end in 2022.

On Friday, she faced hostility at Kilimani police station. Could this be the shaving Babu Owino is referring to?

Well, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and Wahome are some of the legislators that were on Friday night teargassed while camping outside the Police Station.

They were waiting for detained Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria to be released on a Sh50,000 bond.

According to Nyoro, apart from the teargas, some of their motor vehicles have been smashed.

“They have teargassed us ruthlessly and smashed some of our vehicles inside Kilimani Police Station as we tried to have them obey a court order on Hon Moses Kuria’s release. Members of the press were not spared either. We are African and Africa is our Business…” Nyoro said.

Moses Kuria was arrested on Friday after a Kiambu woman identified as Joyce Wanja accused him of assaulting her in December 2019.

Senior principal magistrate Cheruiyot ordered for Moses Kuria’s release on a Sh50,000 bond.

This is the order the tanga tanga leaders wanted the police to obey.

Three key ODM politicians summoned over Kibra campaigns

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has summoned three ODM politicians who are expected to appear before the commission on Monday.

Junet Mohamed (Suna East), Babu Owino (Embakasi East) and former Embakasi South MP Irshard Sumra are to record statements regarding allegations they made inciting remarks at a political rally in Kibra constituency.

In an exclusive interview with a local daily on Thursday, NCIC chief executive officer Hassan Mohamed said investigators are piecing together evidence before the file is forwarded to Director of Public Prosecution for action.

“Investigations are ongoing. We have looked at the video clips and investigators are also on the ground looking for more evidence,” Mohamed said.

He however stated that the three politicians had disputed the clips

“When they came here they said they wanted time to look at the video clips before they can record statements. We agreed they come back on October 28,” he said.

Rarieda MP and lawyer Otiende Amolo representing Junet and Babu denied the allegations terming the investigations “prejudicial” .

“The investigators shared with us their fashion of what they claim was said in Kibra. We have taken them and we shall check if they tally with our fashion,” Otiende told journalist after a closed door session with the investigators led by police chief inspector Jonson Kilua.

Mohamed had warned that stern action will be taken against the politicians .

“The commission is in receipt of a number of audio and video clips of politicians making what may amount to inflammatory statements,” he said.

He added: ” The clips are currently being reviewed by the commission in conjunction with other agencies. Should the clips reveal violations of the law, the perpetrators will be held accountable. “

Mohamed noted that campaigns in Kibra have been largely peaceful but accused some campaigners of using abusive language and inciting the electorate.

Mohamed also sounded a warning to social media users, saying those found to be in breach of NCIC Act will not be spared.

“The commission is also monitoring social media platforms to ensure that these platforms are not used to incite violence or propagate hate speech or ethnic contempt. We continue to urge members of the public to maintain peace not just in the areas conducting the by-elections but in the country at large,” he said.

Babu Owino Reveals Where he Learnt Abusive Politics in Quick Response to Eziekiel Mutua

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

After coming under immense criticism early this week when he went ballistic against DP William Ruto who he accused of undermining opposition leader Raila Odinga, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has revealed where he learnt the politics of hurling insults.

Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) boss Ezekiel Mutua is among those who have castigated Babu for using filthy language to refer to the DP. 

He said that such language is not acceptable at all.

“When national leaders use the vulgar language on each other like Hon. Babu Owino did on the DP yesterday, why are we blaming that young boy for doing a vulgar video, using unpalatable language?

“When preachers like Pastor Ng’ang’ a do the crazy things he’s doing for “trending” and controversy, why are we shocked when our kids copy him?” he said.

But in what seems to be a quick response to this criticism, Babu Owino says he learnt politics of hurling insults from his political elders.

The youthful MP says he listened when ODM leader Raila Odinga was called Mganga consistently in the past political events by his opponents.

According to him, since they are elders, he thought that whatever they were doing was right.

” I learnt this politics of hurling insults from my political elders,I listened when Baba was called Mganga consistently(imagine how a mganga’s shrine looks like)when he was called a mad man,conman,when he was called a lord of poverty,when he was called Kipii(uncircumcised),even Trump taught me some,then I devised my own coz I knew that was the right direction given from the politically experienced.Let the old teach us the young the right way and morals of life.No apologies still,Raila must be respected,” reads his post.

Here is Babu Owino’s video hurling insults at DP Ruto.

Babu Owino Pens an Emotional Letter to Raila Over Uhuru’s Dalliance With Mariga

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has penned down an emotional message to ODM party leader Raila Odinga moments after President Uhuru Kenyatta met Jubilee party’s candidate in Kibra by-elections McDonald Mariga.

President Kenyatta on Wednesday met Mariga and assured him support in the forthcoming mini polls, a move Babu Owino sees as betrayal.

In a message that seems to be addressing Raila, Babu Owino says the AU envoy must be careful with his handshake with president Kenyatta, arguing that there has been no any fruits so far.

The youthful MP goes on urging President Kenyatta to be genuine with the handshake, citing that Raila’s camp must walk out of the marriage if it proves to be void.

He argues that one party in the marriage is incompetent, arguing that the opposition cannot be duped twice.

“Baba must be very careful with this thing called *HANDSHAKE* No fruits so far.We can’t be duped twice.President Uhuru must be genuine with this handshake.Baba we must be very careful and if the *marriage*is void coz one party is incompetent for being in a subsisting marriage or voidable coz it’s not consummated then we must be out very fast.We need not lie to each other and in return their intention is to embarrass you.Jubilee must never and will never win kibra.I’m ready to go back to the bush,” reads Babu Owino’s post on facebook.

Raila’s camp feels President Kenyatta would not have supported any other candidate in the Kibra mini polls or the sake of the handshake.

During former Kibra MP Ken Okoth’s memorial service, Nairobi County Senator Johnson Sakaja had said that he would talk to his bosses in Jubilee not to field a candidate in the by-elections, which is now not the case.

Do you think Raila has been betrayed as being argued by Babu Owino?

Babu Owino Blasts Mariga For ‘Taking’ Ken Okoth’s Wife

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has blasted Jubilee candidate in the November 7 slated Kibra by-elections McDonald Mariga for allegedly taking late Ken Okoth’s wife.

Through a tweet posted on Wednesday morning, Babu Owino asked Mariga to choose between late Ken Okoth’s wife and his Kibra parliamentary seat.

The youthful MP argued that Mariga was showing a sign of disrespect to the late by hanging around with the woman who had a baby with Ken Okoth.

“This is the lady who had a baby with the late Hon.Ken Okoth.Mariga must choose between the lady or the seat,hauwezi dharau the late Ken by taking both his seat and his wife.Choose one Omwami,” posted Babu Owino.

He was responding to a photo of Mariga while appearing at IEBC offices for clearance before he was barred after his name failed to appear in the voters register.

Anne Thumbi, who is the mother of the late Kibra MP Ken Okoth’s son, was seen sitting next to Mariga during the verification which ended in Mariga being blocked from vying.

However, speaking to a local media last week, Ms Thumbi defended her support for Mariga saying she was nominated to the Nairobi County Assembly by the Jubilee party, hence, her loyalty.

“I was nominated to the Nairobi County Assembly under the Jubilee Party. I, therefore, am obligated to stick with the party’s choice in the race for Kibra parliamentary seat. Jubilee’s choice, as of today, is Mariga, and I needed to show him my support,” said Ms Thumbi.

She, however, declined to give a comment on how well she relates with Imran.

Babu Owino on Wednesday led a team of ODM party in a door to door campaign in Kibra for their candidate Bernard Imran Okoth, who is late Ken Okoth’s brother.
