A 19-year-old man, who was found trespassing in the Parliament Buildings, has been released.
He was reportedly apprehended on August 7 at 9:30pm in the Bunge Towers car park.
“On 7 August 2025, at around 9:30pm in Nairobi, within Nairobi County, you were found in the Bunge Towers car park without lawful authority,” his charges read.
Nelson Ibrahim Kidero, also known as Nelson Murithi, appeared in court on Thursday October 9 and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Milimani Principal Magistrate Ben Mark Ekhubi informed Kidero that he had been released on the condition that he did not repeat the offence within a year.
“Do not repeat the same offence of going back to Parliament; I do not want to regret freeing you,” Ekhubi said.
Ekhubi released Kidero to his uncle, who showed up in court, after he pleaded to the court to hand him back.
“I’m releasing you to your uncle, Kelvin Chege, today, but on the condition that you do not commit any other offence, and at no point, Mr Chege, do not let him out of your sight.”
Ruto's 'Son'
On September 25, 2025, Kidero told the court that he was the son of President William Ruto and that he helped Ruto to be president.
“My mother is called Angeline Muriithi, so actually, there was a mistake. William Samoei Ruto is my father; I helped him to become the president, and my mother is Angeline Muriithi and he is supposed to be my father, so I think there is a mistake going on in Parliament [sic],” Kidero stated in court.
The court informed Kidero's family to take him hospital for medical care and they should pay more attention on the son.
"Since this young man was brought before the court, efforts have been made to contact his family. Please tell his father to show more concern for his son," Magistrate added.
