Julius Kamau, a man who allegedly disrupted Treasury CS Njunguna Ndung'u's photo shoot ahead of the budget reading on Thursday last week has been charged before the court.
Kamau appeared before Milimani senior principal magistrate Benard Ochoi and pleaded afresh.
Julius Kamau was charged alongside Eric Mankuyu that jointly with others, not before the court, he created a disturbance in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace by yelling, shouting and attempting to disrupt the photo shooting session by the Cabinet Secretary National Treasury and Economic Planning and his delegates.
They are alleged to have committed the offence on June 13 at the Treasury Building along Harambee Avenue.
The accused denied the charges and was released on a cash bail of Sh 10,000 or a bond of Sh 50,000. The case will be mentioned on June 26.
Last Friday, the court ordered that a mental test be conducted on him after he shocked the court by calling Kenyans fools.
However, when he appeared in court on Wednesday, the court was told that he went to the hospital for a mental checkup but the hospital said it didn't have the required facilities to conduct a mental test.
Kamau through his lawyer Soyinka Lempaa urged the court to have him plead saying he is mentally fit.
"My client is a frustrated man as the economy keeps souring. He is has a family and the breadwinner. Please allow him to plead to the charges," Lempaa told the court.
Lempaa also requested witness statements from the prosecution, especially from CS Ndung'u.
During the drama last week, Kamau had 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 a high cost of living and yet we were colonised. Colonisation never really ended," Kamau told the court on Friday.
