For this week, I have not checked how far the bill has reached but judging by his condition, it is still set to go up. I am not sure if Babu Owino will settle all of it.

Babu Owino, who has been a person of interest in the case stated that Felix has been a friend to him and will not let him struggle with the swelling hospital bills.

Evolve was a personal friend of mine and we shall pursue ways to help settle that bill.

Monday, the 27th of January, Justice Andayi attracted controversy after ruling that Babu be released on a Ksh 10 Million bail.

This was with an initial deposit of Ksh 2.5 million for his release followed by another Ksh 2.5 million to be paid in installments in the following three months.

According to Justice Andayi, the money deposited would cater for the victim, DJ Evolve´s hospital bills.

Controversy

However, for a greater mass, such kind of bail terms were outrageous.

Which was thereafter challenged by the DPP stating:

I have never heard, first of all, of bail terms that you are asked to pay in installments. Then secondly, my understanding is that once you pay bail, it goes to the ex-checker. So how will we be able to access the money to go and pay for the injured party?
