Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has disclosed that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has withdrawn a summon against him.

In a statement via X on Tuesday, July 23, the lawmaker asserted that he was prepared to honour the summon but it had already been recalled.

"The DCI has unceremoniously withdrawn their summon. I was to be accompanied by my advocates, MPs and The people of Kenya, but it appears news of our visit in our thousands prompted them to recall their invitation," Babu Owino remarked.

The vocal legislator shared screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation with Eunice Njue, the Chief Inspector attached to DCI Nairobi County Headquarters who issued the summons.

"Refer to my earlier notification. Hon. Dr. Babu Owino you are no longer required to avail yourself," read one of the messages.
