Pinned to the ground, the man boldly defended his actions, insisting the vehicle was public property funded by taxpayers.

“This car belongs to Kenya, it’s insured, and I pay taxes for it. Have mercy on someone who pays taxes,” he declared, drawing laughter from the crowd and even some of the officers.

The suspect went on to allege that he had been assaulted by police and detained for three days prior to the arrest. He further argued that because the vehicle was insured and maintained using public funds, Kenyans had the right to access it.
