Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has been released on a bond of Sh200,000 or cash bail of Sh100,000.

The MP was arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts early Friday morning.

Delivering the ruling on Friday, Chief Magistrate Lukas Onyina noted that the prosecution had not established a reason to deny the accused persons bail.

The prosecution did not establish a compelling reason to warrant the denial of bail.

Owino together with Calvina Okoth Otieno alias Gaucho, Tom Ondongo Ong'udi, Michael Otieno Omondi, Pascal Ouma, Kevin Wambo and Willys Owino Baraka were on Wednesday charged with conspiracy to commit subversive activities.

The MP was arrested shortly after his arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and taken to Wang’uru Police Station in Mwea, Kirinyaga County, where he is said to have spent the night.

The court also observed that the prosecution did not establish which of the accused persons would interfere with investigations into the case.
