'Mr Speaker Sir' freed on Sh100,000 bond in Sh41m Parliament damage case

Ezekiel Kyama Nzyoki, known as 'Mr Speaker Sir,' has been released on a Sh100,000 personal bond after pleading not guilty to charges of unlawfully entering Parliament buildings and causing Sh41.2 million in damages during the June 25, 2024 Gen Z protests against the Finance Bill 2024. The Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate, Caroline Mugo, ruled that there were no compelling reasons to deny bail, citing constitutional rights to reasonable bail. The prosecution argued that the charges were serious due to the high value of the alleged damage, while the defense, including Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, claimed the figures were exaggerated and that Kyama posed no flight risk or threat to the investigation.
