Muturi Kicks Babu Owino out of Parliament As He Throws Ruto’s Land Grabbing Evidence By Fatuma Gedi.
Muturi Kicks Babu Owino out of Parliament
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has been kicked out of Parliament buildings for disorderly conduct during submission of land-grabbing evidence by Fatuma Gedi.
He is now set to miss five sittings.
National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi ordered Sergeants-at-Arms to bar the MP from accessing the chamber, committees, as well any other activity in Parliament.
“I direct the MP to withdraw from chamber and precincts for five days inclusive today pursuant to Standing Order 107,” Muturi said.
“If he is not in the chamber today, he will not be allowed to access precincts, chamber, committee, or any House activities.”
Babu was punished for refusing to heed orders to vacate the chamber on April 14 when Wajir Woman MP Fatuma Gedi sought to table documents on land grabbing allegations against DP William Ruto.
“It has not escaped the attention of the members that he refused to leave. Due to the gross misconduct, I deferred the ruling to today.”
“For the committees, let it be noted that he will not attend as a member of the public. The proceedings of any committee that allows him to sit would be rendered a nullity,” Muturi said.

While issuing a communication from the chair on Tuesday, May 10, Muturi termed the documents as inadmissible owing to the fact that they were not certified.
The Speaker ruled that the documents – which Gedi delivered dramatically in a suitcase – failed to comply with the requirements of the House and could not be authenticated.
He ordered that the copies tabled before the House be returned to her.
“In this regard, I rule that the documents are inadmissible for failure to meet the threshold set by the rules of admissibility that I have highlighted. Consequently, I direct that the documents tabled by the
Hon. Member during the Sitting of the House of April 14, 2022, be expunged from the records of the House forthwith.
“I also direct the Clerk to return the documents to the Hon. Member, at an appropriate time. To this end, this matter is spent in terms of Standing Order 91 and there shall be no further substantiation by the Hon. Member or debate on it,” Muturi stated.
