Babu Owino had been arrested over speech alongside 8 other members of parliament from CORD and jubilee.

While reading his release statement at Milimani Law courts, Magistrate indicated that he had not seen any reason that would make him prevent the release of Babu Owino on Bail. The Magistrate also argued that he is a student and should be let free to persue his studies.

Babu Owino was represented in court by ODM lawyer Edwin Sifuna.
