Julius Kamau, a man who allegedly disrupted Treasury CS Njunguna Ndung'u's photo shoot ahead of budget reading on Thursday stunned a Nairobi court by saying Kenyans are fools.
He said that even if he is jailed for 100 years, he will never keep quiet.
"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 said his client was mentally okay as he knew what he was talking about.
He urged the court to allow him to plead to the charges or grant him bail.
Milimani senior principal magistrate Benard Ochoi declined and ordered that he be taken to Mathari Mental Hospital for mental assessment.
"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.
