On Sunday, the first time lawmaker posted a photo of him lying in a CT scan machine, an indication that he's undergoing treatment.

Details about his health remain still scanty. Mr Owino, a former University of Nairobi student leader, has been leading ODM campaigns in Kibra by-election.

"May God heal me coz I must lead this nation some day," read Owino's message on Facebook, without revealing the facility he's being treated at.

In the past few days, Owino has been pushing for release of Joseph Irungu alias Jowie, who is in remand in connection with the death of one Monica Kimani.

The legislator on his Facebook account said, "Jowie should be released on cash bail or bond by the Judiciary and if found guilty be jailed."

"Is it because Jowie is poor that’s why he is being frustrated...?" he added.

Jowie has made two attempts to be released either on cash bail or bond but the courts turned him down for what they termed as premature application and lack of merit.

But Babu Owino said, "When Governor Obado was alleged to have murdered, he was given a cash bail/bond term. Sarah Wairimu alleged to have murdered Cohen was released on Cash bail/bond. Marxism’s of law is that equity is equality".
