In the charge sheet, she is quoted as saying: “Kenyans are going to bring revolution for this country. Enough is enough. We are tired as Kenyans. Revolution is with the people. Sovereignty is with the people. Revolution is with the people.”
She is further alleged to have said: “There are two tribes that think they own this country and we want to tell them chuma wanacho.”
