Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has alleged that there are plans by the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) officers to arrest him.
According to Babu, he has received reports that EACC detectives were planning to raid his office at Donholm in Nairobi either this week or next week.
He noted that he was informed by credible sources that a meeting involving high-profile government officials was held last week to plot the arrest and coerce him to join the current administration.

“I was reliably informed by very serious sources that this week, EACC detectives were to come at our offices in Donholm, if not this week, then next week, they are to come and arrest me,” he said.
Babu moreover noted that the scheme also aims to bring him down politically and tainting his growing reputation as the most preferred politician in Kenya.
The lawmaker further claimed that the EACC officers intended to arrest and impose trumped-up graft charges against him in an attempt to stop his criticism of the government.
Babu Owino also went ahead to dismiss reports of allegedly bribing the Auditor General, Nancy Gathungu, to manipulate the audit findings of Embakasi East.
The MP called on the EACC officials to follow the rule of law, act independently, and avoid negative influence by the current administration.
