Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, at the Milimani Law Courts, September 27, 2017. [Photo|Babu Owino]Radio host Uncle Fred Obachi has expressed disappointment, after Embakasi East MP Babu Owino's was re-arrested.The ODM first time controversial lawmaker, had been released on cash bail of Sh500,000, Wednesday, after he faced charges of allegedly insulting President Uhuru Kenyatta.He was later re-arrested shortly after leaving the Milimani Law Courts, over an incident he allegedly committed while still a student leader of SONU.Obachi, termed the arrest witch-hunt, saying the case had been forgotten, especially after he was given certificate of good conduct to vie in the August 8 general election."If indeed the re-arresting of Babu Owino today is as a result of what he uttered while student at the University of Nairobi, then I can say without fear that, that's pure witch-hunt which we all thought had been confined to the archives!!! How could the "system" forget to deal with the "crime", give Owino a certificate of good conduct (allowing him to contest) and then this? Hii Kenya ni tofauti sasa!!!!" Obachi, posted on his Facebook page, Wednesday.
He was later released Thursday, on a Sh200,000 cash bail after being arraigned in a Kibera court.
