A teenager arrested for illegally entering Parliament on the night of 7th August 7, 2025 claims to be President William Ruto’s son.

According to court documents, Nelson Ibrahim Kidero, also known as Nelson Murithi, was found in the parking area of Bunge Towers “without lawful authority.”

Kidero was arraigned in court on Thursday, but was released on condition that he does not repeat the offence.  Kidero was charged with unlawful entry into the parliamentary precincts contrary to Section 31(1)(a) as read with Section 31(2) of the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, 2017.

The court also directed that he be placed under the care of his uncle, who was instructed to ensure he receives medical attention and proper guidance, according to citizen.digital.

Kidero appeared before Senior Principal Magistrate Mark Ekhubi and was charged with unlawfully entering the parliamentary precincts.

During the hearing, Magistrate Ekhubi advised the young man to consider pursuing a career in law and become a magistrate in the future.

However, Kidero declined the suggestion of becoming a magistrate and instead told the court that his dream is to become a barista.

“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 Ekhubi told the uncle. The uncle assured the court that he would take full responsibility for Kidero’s welfare.
