Embakasi Member of Parliament has a case to answer in the shooting of DJ Evolve also known as Felix Orinda.
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino will have to take to the stand to defend himself in a misuse of a firearm charge.
The lawmaker was charged in 2020 following the shooting of DJ Evolve at a club in Nairobi's upmarket Kilimani area.
He was facing a different charge of attempted murder which was withdrawn after talks with his victim.
But the state pressed misuse of firearm charges against Babu and a magistrate on Tuesday put the MP on his defence.
"After evaluating the prosecution's evidence, the accused has a case to answer," Milimani senior principal magistrate Benard Ochoi ruled.
The court set June 15 for a defence hearing.
Babu whose defense team is led by renowned criminal lawyer Cliff Ombeta has challenged claims the bullet that shot DJ Evolve was discharged from his gun.
