An application by the family of a Nairobi-based DJ Evolve to have the attempted murder case against Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has been rejected. – By Gerald Gekara.
According to court documents, the case will only be dismissed by state prosecutors at this stage.
Principal Magistrate Benard Ochoi, who made the judgement on Monday, said the application did not meet the threshold to withdraw the case.
He however asked the family to reveal to the court on what the flashy legislator offered to have the case withdrawn.
“Unconditional withdrawal is not appropriate in the circumstances of this case; the parties must come out and tell court what Babu had offered the family” Ochoi concluded.
