they are flipping it to, "the DJ threatened using a firearm..." guess who will be in shyt? The dj is not even licenced, if they push the claim it might end bad for him.
Babu is a thug, he used to kidnap his competitor in UON before election day and give them a whipping using goons, ask Magoha. It will be insane to expect justice in this case. The despot will walk away scotfree and continue his thuglife.

Yes,in this video it's a movie Ongili was acting and due for release soon!

Embakasi East member of Parliament Babu Owino, real name Paul Ongili, has been released on a cash bail of Sh10 million in his case over the shooting of a DJ.

In the ruling on Monday evening, the court said the money will be used to settle the hospital bills of victim DJ Evolve, whose name is Felix Odhiambo Orinda.

The amount will be paid to the court in four installments and will be used to clear all the bills the DJ will incur in the best medical facilities until he recovers fully.


Lawyer Cliff Ombeta said they will pay the amount less the Sh600,000 that the MP paid earlier.

He said Babu acted with impunity when he offered to pay the bills but also noted that detaining him would be tantamount to fully withdrawing the services the DJ is receiving at The Nairobi Hospital, whose doctors say he is stable.

Mr Andayi further said there were compelling reasons to deny the MP bail but that he reconsidered the matter so he can pay the bills.

Any unutilised portion of the Sh10 million will remain deposited in court until the case is concluded.

Who told the magistrate that the court can appropriate government revenue in form of financial es, bond, bail?

Cash bail is refundable regardless of guilt. You get your money after judgement.....you can even use the money to pay fines or merry with your counsel after a brave fight...... In this case a new precedence has been set by the Koti bandia

I think we should not complain. This is justice with a human face. Something missing all too often in Kenya.

I believe Judges are allowed to be creative in interpreting the law, to a certain extent of course.

The law is not accounting.

That may be easy to say when you are not caught up in the purist absurdity of law.

I recall a 70 year old mzee in Nyanza sentenced to 10 years in prison because he was caught with a single roll of bangi. He tried to explain that he had smoked the stuff for 50 years plus, as pure recreation, never sold, never harmed anybody. But the law then had set a minimum 10 year sentence for drug possession and that is what he got. The Judge was reduced to an accountant. Justice suffered.

The same legal accounting would now imply that DJ Evolve 'ajipange', essentially at the discretion of the same thug who shot him.

That may be law to you, it is certainly not justice.

I hope you are wrong.

Some of the Judges and Magistrates who were mentored by Willy Mutunga have brought a refreshing, creative and activist approach to the law that should be encouraged. I know they are often getting slapped down by conservative legal dinosaurs - I understand the Labour Court Judge who tried to resolve the impasse between KNUT and TSC got into some kind of trouble.

But they should be encouraged, not threatened with impeachment.

Justice should come down from its ivory tower and engage with Wanjiku at her level.
