Paul Ongili, the Embakasi East Member of Parliament popularly referred as Babu Owino has on Wednesday afternoon been released by court on bail after pleading not guilty to three counts of subversion, offensive conduct and incitement to violence.
The Orange Democratic Movement MP was freed on a cash bail of Ksh. 500,000 after spending two nights in police custody.
Following deliberations, High Court Judge Francis Andayi ruled that the prosecution did not present compelling reasons to keep him locked up.
The youthful MP was taken in by police on Monday for making insulting remarks reportedly directed at President Uhuru at a National Super Alliance rally in Nairobi’s Kawangware area on Sunday.
The subversion charge carries a 7 year jail term, which could lead to him losing his parliamentary seat.
Uhuru should be arrested…
Uhuru should be arrested immediately for insulting and undermining our new, competent and working members of the judiciary. He should spend two nights in the same cell that Babu Awino spent.
I beg and request my fellow enlightened Kenyans to stop using inappropriate language in public like brothers Muthama, Uhuru, Kuria, and Babu Awino.
Lock him up for 7 x 4 mpaka…
Lock him up for 7 x 4 mpaka apate hadafu. We do not need stupidity in Kenya. His mother never taught him well.
I told you we are dealing…

We re-arrested him! Ha!
We re-arrested him! Ha!
@Dr. Koni Hanene…
@Dr. Koni Hanene. Circumcising this rand may not be a solution. Remember Moi circumcised the most senior rand of all the land, Raila Odinga and it backfired against him although it’s still debateable whether he is fully circumcised because it was done in the basement of Nyati house and probably by a unprofessional circumciser who might have left some skin. As you know, Cirmucisition in our African tradition is a ritual that must be done right by a traditionalist. When done right the result is rewarding-Maturity, wisdom, statesmanship-all emerge as it’s intended. When it’s half-baked the results are opposite-rebellion, unsatisfaction, dumbness, arrogance, ego centric, self-denial, etc. Infact, Raila Odinga is a good example of a half-baked circumcised man. He does not and will never accept a loss even it’s supervised by a pope, he will keep on inciting his followers even if they get killed so long as it serves his interest. Nothing is good for him-IEBC, Safaricom, Police, election results that does not declare him the winner, media, foreign observers, Supreme Court when it does not rule in his favor an example been 2013 ruling that quashed his presidential petition, etc. So circumcising Babu Owino while in jail could backfire on the establishment and create another future Raila Odinga.
Circumcising Babu Owino is…
Circumcising Babu Owino is the best outcome that can out of this circumstance. I am for circumcision because it has so many added benefits it would be wrong to ignore it. For example, statistics show that in areas of Kenya where people don’t get circumcised the rate of HIV infection is four times the national average. In a city like Kisumu one out of two residents are HIV positive. So that is a good example why men need to be circumcised. circumcision saves lives. The second benefit is that it unleashes wisdom that otherwise uncircumcised people don’t have. I can’t explain it better than the way the Holy Bible has. Knesset or the Israel parliament does not allow uncircumcised men to be members. Kenya is currently going through turmoil because of having uncircumcised leader contest for Presidency. A nation cannot be blessed when its leaders are not circumcised. Look at what happened in Kenya in 2007 and 2013. Unnecessary blood was shed because of having uncircumcised man run for the highest post of the land. Similar thing is repeating itself in 2017. One may ask himself, is it coincident that when uncircumcised men rose to the helm of leadership in Ivory Coast and Guinea those countries descended to anarchy and civil war?. The mystery of circumcision goes back to the biblical times. Although I am not an authority in the subject One thing that I see to be a common denominator between a circumcised man and one that is not is wisdom. It is displayed by Raila and you see it been displayed by Babu Owino. By the way Babu Owino can be very smart if there is a way he can be saved from randism(Uhii}. He has potential to become his community leader and probably replace the aging Raila Odinga as a de facto leader of Kibera and Western Kenya. That’s why I am for his circumcision through thick or thin.
My Kikuyu brothers, you are…
My Kikuyu brothers, you are not the only ones who are circumcised. I come from a community where all men are circumcised. However, I cannot impose my people’s tradition to other people around the world! I really don’t understand your obsession with circumcision. You all need to see a mind specialist to help you deal with your mental issue.
During the holocaust in Naivasha and Nakuru, many Luo men were circumcised against their will. That’s why we need to look into all the people involved in the killing of innocent Kenyans after the election of 2007.
Haiya ati Holocaust in…
Haiya ati Holocaust in Naivasha and Nakuru led to Ihii being circumcised. No wonder the two towns are very calm now. This thing works like magic!!
