The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has summoned Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino to appear at its headquarters on Wednesday, July 24, at 9 a.m.
This directive, issued in a statement on Tuesday, instructs the legislator to report to the DCI headquarters on Kiambu Road in Nairobi.
Detectives require Babu Owino to provide information regarding allegations of police incitement and money laundering.
"I request you, Babu Owino, to report to me at the DCI headquarters, Nairobi County Police Station, on July 24 at 09:00 hours, and furnish me with full information concerning the case," read part of the summons letter.

The letter further stated, "I do believe you, Babu Owino, might have been involved or have information which can assist me in my investigations."
Reacting to the summons, the lawmaker expressed his displeasure. "I have been summoned by the DCI tomorrow to help them investigate myself, total madness," Babu Owino commented on his social media accounts.
The legislator was cautioned of potential prosecution if he failed to adhere to the directive. "Failure to comply with the above requirement renders you liable for prosecution," the letter read in part.
Babu Owino's summons by the DCI comes amidst his strong stance against President William Ruto's administration.
On Monday, July 22, the lawmaker publicly criticized the President, calling his administration incompetent. Addressing residents of Homa Bay County, Owino expressed his support for the protesting youths.
"To the Gen Zs of this country, we are proud, we love what you are doing and we know the difference between President William Ruto and the Gen Zs," Babu Owino stated.
