Last weekend, he hosted Raila Odinga, who held a rally in the Embakasi constituency, Nairobi County.
Mr Owino, on Sunday, February 5, 2023, was part of the political leaders who attended a major rally in Kibra, Nairobi County.
In the rally, the political leaders led by Mr Odinga promised to hold President William Ruto’s government accountable.
Mr Odinga has been in aggressive political activities since the beginning of the year, insisting he won the presidential election.
He had even ignored a Supreme Court ruling that put the matter to rest when it dismissed his win and upheld that of President Ruto.
He has already held major rallies in Kamukunji and Jacaranda grounds since last month when he said he would not recognize President Ruto as the Head of State.
