Details leading to the arrest of
Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino can now be divulged. According to
court proceedings on Tuesday, September 26, officers from the Directorate of
Criminal Investigations had a difficult time locating the first time MP in
several of his properties.
Information reaching us indicate
that the officers had to look in 7 houses in which Babu Owino calls home in
Nairobi. It took 10 DCI officers using technology to trace the first time Parliamentarian
to downtown CBD in Nairobi where he was apprehended and taken to the Kiambu
headquarters. A judge heard that Owino has no permanent home. Babu was arrested
after making explosive statements about the Kenyatta family when he allegedly
claimed that Uhuru Kenyatta is a puppy (mtoto wa mbwa).
Following his utterances, demonstrations in
Kiambu county against his sentiments were witnessed as demands for his arrest
were made. He remained unapologetic, claiming he did not abuse President Uhuru
even as his ODM colleague, Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris apologised to the
Kenyatta family on his behalf. In the charge sheet seen by TUKO.co.ke, Owino
was charged with two counts of subversion and uttering abusive words against
President Kenyatta. Owino's life has always been shrouded by mystery, more so
when it comes to the source of his wealth.
