Sudi, who is accused of hate speech and incitement, was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Josphat Kalo of Nakuru law courts on Monday following his arrest on Sunday.

The prosecution requested the court to allow police to detain him for 14 days pending the conclusion of investigations into the matter. They argued that more time is needed to trace and interview several witnesses they intend to use in the case.

Sudi is facing charges of hate speech, assault of a police officer, offensive conduct, unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition, and resisting arrest.

Sudi was arrested over the alleged inciting and abusive remarks directed at President Uhuru Kenyatta and his family, which he made on September 7th.

Magistrate Kalo directed Sudi be detained at Nakuru Central police station pending a ruling on the prosecution’s application on Wednesday.

Sudi’s attorneys led by Uasin Gishu Woman Representative Gladys Boss Shollei and Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen opposed the prosecution’s application and urged the court to release the accused on bail.

    You have to persevere bruises inflicted on you when you decide to fight for the common man. Langat and Malala are already crying. We are yet so see your boldness in the face of adversity.

    He lack boldness except a bigly foul mouth! Keep him in the cells that is where he belongs. He is not fighting for any commoner in Kenya; he is fighting for himself! Which commoner has a shs 100 million house? Don’t be deceived by the butler thieves!

    There is a video by one guy called Chris Kumekucha on youtube saying Malala is a threat. He is Shakespeare of some sort.
    Malala should look into this Chris Kumekucha guy because that video put a target on his back. It was a “hit” video.

    Chris kumekucha does “hit” videos and calls them political analysis. He puts targets on people not issues.

    He did the same to Joho and other people. He should be investigated.

    That woman Mama Ngina is a thief and poacher, who married a geriatric thief and murderer then gave birth to thieves and murderers.
    These are well documented facts.

    The truth is always self evident.

    DP Ruto is cooking something very sinister and must be investigated immediately! How did three presidential escorts end up caught at Sufi’s house on the evening that sudi was getting arrested? Ruto should not be allowed to have any residential guards! This is a huge bleach of protocol to allow these police guys to associate with Sudi! These guys are planning a coup in the government!

    Huyu kaka alionyesha ujasiri kwenye video zake zilizo kuwa na maneno makali. Sasa anaoenyesha sura ya huzuni. Ana nichanganya akili kabisa. Mbwa mkali kageuka kuwa muoga na kuweka mkia kati kati ya miguu.

    @kaka - yeye ni ndomo tu! Wacha akae huko! He is now looking like a wet hen!!

    Is DPP Haji campaigning for Raila/Uhuru side?How can he charge majambazi Sudi & Ng'eno with ghost charges?Where is the offense in telling Ngina & Uhuru they don't own Kenya?Incitement is when you incite a certain tribe against the other.But other names for GiKuyu are MuGikuyu(one) and AGikuyu(many) not Uhuru(Swahili name for independence) or Ngina(a female name in both GiKuyu and AKamba tribes).After all to respect somebody is one's choice and can never be forced by any law leave alone the MARAGA GANG.

    What happened Sudi? You barked like a lone dog and now you look sad and frustrated! Do you want Ugali na nyama? Week, nitakuletea hapo kwa cell!
