Embakasi East MP Babu Owino on Thursday told a Nairobi court that he spent Sh58.6 million on Felix Orinda aka DJ Evolve.
Babu is said to have shot the disk jockey at B Club in 2020.
The legislator was appearing in court after it was found that he had a case to answer for misusing a firearm.
“I took charge of life-saving of the initiative and endeavors of Felix Orinda as a leader. And that would be inconsistent with a person who intended to harm,” the MP told Milimani senior principal magistrate Bernard Ochoi.
