Babu Owino, MP for Embakasi East, has sought the court to clear him of the criminal charges he is facing.
The case was coming up today for highlighting of submissions after both the prosecution and defense closed their case on May 2023.
According to Owino, the prosecution has failed to establish its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
“Throughout the case, none of the witnesses testified to the fact that the accused person was disorderly because none of the witnesses saw the accused person behaving in the alleged disorderly manner,” he stated.
Mr. Owino claims that the prosecution failed to prove that he was disorderly while carrying a pistol since none of the witnesses could agree that the accused was disorderly.
“We most humbly submit that the prosecution has failed to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused person is guilty.”
To put it another way, the prosecution case is “scandalous, frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of the court process,” submitted Owino.
According to Owino, none of the prosecution witnesses, including the victim DJ Evolve, have been able to demonstrate that he had his pistol at the time of the incident.
He claims that the accusations that he was intoxicated on the material day are unsupported by any toxicological report and are only allegations on which the prosecution must establish that he was inebriated, leading him to behave in a disorderly manner.
