Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino has accused the Judiciary of applying double standards.
In a long Facebook post, Owino said that the poor do not get justice.
He made reference to the case of Joseph Irungu alias Jowie who has been in custody for several months yet his co-accused Jackie Maribe was arrested but later released following the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.
Owino asked why the court granted Migori Governor Okoth Obado freedom yet he is a top suspect in the murder of Rongo University former Student Sharon Otieno and Jowie cannot be freed.
He also cited the case of Sarah Wairimu who was freed in the murder of her husband Dutch Tycoon Tob Cohen. Peter Karanja, the second suspect in the murder case of the tycoon was also released on cash bail.
He asked Chief Justice David Maraga to ensure Jowie is freed.
Owino posted: “The judiciary is being used. When Governor Obado was alleged to have murdered he was given a cash bail/bond term. When Sarah Wairimu was alleged to have murdered Cohen She was released on Cash bail/bond.
“JOWI should be given cash bail/bond term by the judiciary and when found guilty be jailed. Marxism’s of law is that Equity is equality. He who comes to Equity must come with clean hands. Is it coz JOWI is poor that’s why he is being by the Rich judiciary? Youth for a youth."
Kimani's body was found in her apartment in Nairobi’s Kilimani area in a bathtub.
