A Nairobi court has given the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) 14 days to subject a man to a mental assessment before he faces charges for unlawfully entering Bunge Towers.
The accused, identified as Nelson Ibrahim Kidero, also known as Nelson Muriithi, is accused of twice gaining access to the parliamentary premises without authorization. According to court records, the first incident occurred on July 30, 2025, at around 6:45 am when he was found at the reception area on the 24th floor of Bunge Towers. The second took place on August 7, 2025, at about 9:30 pm, when he was found in the building’s parking area without lawful authority.
In court, Kidero admitted to the unlawful entry, pleading for forgiveness. He explained that he had not intended to enter the parliamentary premises “in a bad way” and expressed remorse for his actions. When asked by the magistrate about his reason for being there, Kidero responded that he was looking for his wives claiming he had a total of 13.
He went on to name three of them Wambui, Amberay, and Miss Njagi before adding that the other 10 were “in court” and that they knew themselves. This revelation sparked laughter among those present in the courtroom. Interestingly, court papers indicate two instances of unlawful entry, but Kidero himself insisted he had accessed the building three times.
At one point, during court proceedings, Kidero interrupted the magistrate to compliment him on his looks, again prompting laughter from the attendees.
The court also heard that Kidero had sustained injuries while attempting to access Bunge Towers by climbing through a fence. The magistrate directed that he receive medical attention in addition to the ordered mental evaluation.
The case is scheduled for mention on August 21, 2025, when the court will consider the mental assessment report and determine the way forward.
