Embakasi East Member of Parliament, Babu Owino, has been summoned by Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged incitement and money laundering.

The summons, issued under Section 52(1) of the National Police Service Act 2011, requires Babu Owino to appear at the DCI Nairobi County Headquarters on July 24, 2024.

The development marks a significant escalation in the scrutiny of the outspoken legislator, who has been a prominent figure in Kenyan politics. According to the summons, Owino is believed to be “involved or has information which can assist” in the investigation of offences under Section 96 of the penal code.

The document, signed by a DCI officer, states: “Under the powers conferred to me under this section, I request you HON BABU OWINO to report to me at DCI NAIROBI COUNTY HEADQUARTERS Police Station on the 24th day of JULY 2024 at 09:00 HRS and furnish me with full information concerning the case.”

The summons also includes a stern warning: “Note that failure to comply with the above requirement renders you liable for prosecution.”

Owino, known for his provocative statements and strong social media presence, responded to the summons on the social platform X (formerly Twitter), expressing his disbelief at the situation. “I have been summoned by the @DCI_Kenya tomorrow to help them investigate myself, total madness,” he wrote.

The investigation into alleged incitement and money laundering comes at a time of heightened political tensions in Kenya. Owino, a member of the opposition, has been a vocal critic of the current administration.
