Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has been released on a Sh10 million cash bail in a case where he is accused of shooting Felix Orinda alias DJ Evolve at a city club on January 17.
Milimani Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi directed the MP to deposit the cash bail in four installments of Sh2.5 million each in the next three months to settle Felix Orinda alias DJ Evolve's medical bill.
In the ruling on Monday evening, the court said the money will be used to settle the hospital bill of victim DJ Evolve, whose name is Felix Odhiambo Orinda. The cash bail will be paid in four installments.
The court gave conditions for the MP's release from Industrial Area Prison, one being payment of the the first instalment of Sh2.5 million before he is freed.
In addition, Milimani Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi said, two parliamentarians must sign for Babu's release. They are Mathare MP Anthony Oluoch and Nominated Senator Beatrice Kwamboka.
The magistrate also barred Babu from taking alcoholic drink or narcotic drug in a public establishment during the pendency of the case.
Andayi ruled that Orinda’s family was unable to settle the hospital bill accruing at the Nairobi hospital where he was admitted after allegedly being shot by the MP.
