They have pleaded not guilty to the charges and have urged the court to free them on reasonable bail conditions.
The court has ordered they be held at Kilimani Police Station pending the bail ruling.
Kidero has been charged alongside John Ndirangu Kariuki (former Nairobi Mayor), Paul Mutunga Mutungi (former Councilor) and George Wainaina Njogu (former Nairobi County Government Chief of Staff) among others.
