Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has informed the court that he has spent Ksh.58.6 million on treating and paying Felix Orinda alias Dj Evolve’s bills.
Babu Owino told trial magistrate Bernard Ochoi that he acquired a Ksh.17 million flat for the DJ in Kilimani, where he currently resides, while defending himself in a case where he was found to have a case to answer over misuse of firearm.
Similarly, the court heard that the MP intends to send DJ Evolve for further treatment and to create a DJ academy for him.
“The family was not able to take care of him and as a leader I continued paying the medical bills. Total bills accumulated to Ksh.23 million. He was immobile and could not move.
I bought an apartment at Kilimani at around Ksh.17 million and hired two nurses, 2 physiotherapists 1 occupational therapists which up to date am paying Ksh.300,000 per month,” the Embakasi legislator said.
Adding; “I have paid Ksh.11.1million and its still going on for 37months. I take care of his upkeep of Ksh. 70,000 per month to pay bills and food. Medicine is Ksh.80,000 per month. I have paid Ksh.5.5 million for 37 months.”
The MP told the court that on the day he is said to have committed the offence, his gun had jammed and therefore there was no possibility that it was the one that fired.
“The gun could not shoot. The bullet could have come from another firearm,” he defended himself.
