Embakasi East MP Hon Paul Ongili aka Babu Owino has been charged with two counts of subversion and offensive conduct.
The first-term MP known for controversy made an apparent reference to President Uhuru Kenyatta as ‘mtoto wa mbwa’.
Members of the public expressed their displeasure via Twitter and other platforms saying he insulted the presidency.
The MP also faced the alternative charge of incitement to violence in Nairobi on Tuesday.
Babu was accused of uttering hate remarks without lawful excuse during a NASA rally in Kawangware on September 24.
The charge sheet states the words, which were circulated widely, led to disobedience to lawful authority.
But appearing before chief magistrate Francis Andayi at Milimani law courts, Babu denied the charges.
Owino’s lawyer Siaya Senator James Orengo , who also represents the Opposition’s NASA coalition, told the court his client should be released on bail as this is his constitutional right.
This was after the prosecution opposed his bail.
A determination is yet to be made.

Hey guys we need peace, this are the challenges we bring to ourselves wen we elect leaders of no integrity and self respect. Kenya is more important than those so called leaders who can’t leader by example……….

do your uncouth slurs in kisumu, Nairobi is more complicated.
FM says
Kisumu should reinvent themselves on how they protested today,i think Kuria have trained his dogs to counter NASA protests,it should continue to stagnate economy because they own it the way their president acknowledges,no campaign but stagnating kikuyu economy.

Many uncircumcised men are married to women from ethnicity that embrace circumcision and they have had children so Kipyego matusi ya nini?
muti mururu says
How hilarious. Suppose he said ” mtoto wa simba”. The arrest of alias Babu Owino is a monumental abuse/ insult to kenya’s Criminal justice. Watch out countrymen, they are coming for you next.
