A section of Kenyans has taken to social media to express their disappointment after Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino was re-arrested, Wednesday, outside the Milimani Law Courts under unclear circumstances hours after his release.The first time MP had been released Sh500,000 bail and two sureties of Sh1 million each after he was arrested on Monday.He was charged with subversion and offensive conduct after he allegedly insulted President Uhuru Kenyatta during a Nasa rally in Nairobi, Kawangware on Sunday.Below are some mixed opinions from Kenyans on Twitter: "@gabrieloguda: Babu Owino has been re-arrested moments after being released. Dear, Kenya, the dark days are back. Back with a vengeance. Belt up.@NavagwiPurity: Re arresting Babu Owino won't change his intellectual thinking @Babu_Owino you are a Hero be strong others looted Nys money yet they are free@fidel_imperial: Babu Owino rearrested: Handed the (third liberation fighter) tag on a silver platter. Pay the price Kijana history will Judge you in kind.@IkeOjuok: You cannot frustrate BABU OWINO because he's a LUO. A court order must be respected whether it's irregular or otherwise@KenAnyumba: Too much litigation leads to oppression. Babu Owino 's rearrest is now political, no matter the justification behind it.@lloydOnyango: So Hon @ Babu_Owino has been rearrested because some IDIOT was instructed by police to sue him for an assault that happened a long time ago!!!
@simba_felix: By arresting and rearresting Babu Owino, Jubilee is only making him more popular@erwoti: FYI: Moses Kuria is free and plotting to have Raila killed &/or circumcised as Babu Owino is re-arrested. Kenya ni yao!!!!!!@ChrisOkinda: If you don't view Babu Owino 's arrest shortly after release as an affront to democracy, there is not a single patriotic bone in your body.
@Disembe: The only Court Uthamaki can take Babu Owino to get the kind of "Justice" they want is the Kikuyu Council of Elders kangaroo court
