Julius Kamau, a man who reportedly disrupted Treasury CS Njunguna Ndung’u’s photo shoot ahead of the budget reading on Thursday, shocked a Nairobi court by stating Kenyans are fools.

He declared that even if he is imprisoned for 100 years, he will never remain silent.

“It is true and as I said I don’t want to retrieve my concerns. I’m ready to do anything to see change in this country. I’m ready to die for justice, I’m ready to die for equality; we cannot continue living like slaves in our own country in the land of our fathers,” he said.

He continued shouting prompting his lawyer and the magistrate to calm him down.

“Kenyans are oppressed by the government and all of them are fools. We are facing high cost of living and yet we were colonised. Colonisation never really ended,” Kamau told court on Friday.

His lawyer stated that his client was mentally stable and knew what he was talking about.

He requested the judge to enable him to plead guilty or grant him bail.

Milimani senior principal magistrate Benard Ochoi declined and ordered that he be transferred to Mathari Mental Hospital for mental evaluation.

“Having noted the behaviour of the accused, I direct that the plea against him be deferred until Tuesday next week. He will be taken for mental assessment and a report tabled in court,” the magistrate ruled.
