Babu Owino isn’t losing his seat despite revelation he failed to respond to petition within stipulated time

Yesterday September 20th damning evidence surfaced showing that Babu Owino had failed to provide an address of service to a petition filed by Jubilee’s Francis Mureithi who is challenging his win.

According to the election petition rules, a sued party is required to file and serve a notice of address of service within five days after being given copies of the case documents.

Francis Mureithi accused the Embakasi East MP of failing to provide an address of service as well as responding to the filed suit in the prescribed time frame. Mureithi filed the petition on September 7th 2017 at the High Court and served Owino through a newspaper notice.

“I filed my response within the stipulated time and treat the rumors being peddled by my opponents with the contempt it deserves.tibim” Babu Owino tweeted.

Well it’s up to the court to determine who between Babu and Mureithi  is telling the truth.
