Magistrate Ekhubi ordered that the teenager be placed under the care of his uncle, who was directed to ensure he receives medical attention and proper guidance.
During the proceedings, the magistrate advised Kidero to consider pursuing a career in law and perhaps becoming a magistrate in the future. However, Kidero politely declined the suggestion, telling the court he wishes 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, who assured the court that he would take responsibility for Kidero's welfare.
Court records indicate that Kidero was found on the night of August 7, 2025, in the parking area of Bunge Towers within Nairobi County, without lawful authority.
He 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 cautioned Kidero and ordered his release on condition that he does not commit a similar offence within the next year.
