Kenya’s top prosecutor has revealed why the case linking MP Paul Ongili Babu Owino to the attempted murder of Felix Orinda aka DJ Evolve has slowed down.

A statement released on Tuesday evening cited the inability of the victim to record a statement following the shooting which affected his speech.

“According to the IO report, the victim is paralyzed and has a speech impediment making it very challenging to record his statement,” the ODPP said on Twitter.

Babu Owino was arraigned in court on January 20, 2020 and charged with attempted murder as well as behaving in a disorderly manner.

He denied the charge and was released on Ksh. 10million bond with two sureties of same amount and in the alternative, cash bail of Ksh.5 million.

“The ODPP had vehemently opposed his release on bail/bond,” the statement adds.
