The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has withdrawn Babu Owino's summon over incitement allegations.
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino shared a screenshot of the DCI's communication showing that he was no longer required to avail himself.
In his X handle, Babu Owino said he had planned to attend the summon accompanied by his advocates, several Members of Parliament and supporters from across Kenya.
"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 stated.
"I reiterate that we shall not be intimidated into silence. No matter the price, we are ready to pay it."
On Tuesday, Babu Owino had been summoned by the DCI over allegations of incitement.
In a letter seen by the Star, Babu had been summoned to provide more information about an inquiry into allegations of incitement and money laundering.
The DCI said they believed that Babu had information that could help with the investigation.
"I request you Hon. Babu Owino to report to me at DCI Nairobi County Headquarters Police station today on the 24th day of July 2024 at 9:00 hrs and furnish me with full information concerning the case," reads the summon that had been issued by a detective named Eunice Njue.
The letter shared by the MP on his social media pages further noted that "Failure to comply with the above requirement renders you liable for prosecution."
Speaking to the Star of the claims being investigated, Babu described the development as a witchhunt meant to intimidate him.
"It is all politics. This is just meant to intimidate me because of my stand with the people. But I will not be cowed," Babu said.
