Miss Trudy, born Gertrude Njeri, was trending on YouTube for the more significant part of yesterday when she published a viral video of herself arguing with airport authorities at Mombasa International Airport, where she was filming footage.
She was discovered on camera interviewing someone while blocking the airport entrance. When an airport official asked them to go, she raised a commotion, saying she was doing nothing improper or unlawful in making material.
It all occurred after the authorities dispatched a police officer to apprehend her. Miss Trudy had previously been reported to have broken the law by shooting in a protected security zone where photography was prohibited and failing to respect airport law enforcement officers.
According to the Protected Areas Act Chapter 204, a protected area is any area, site, or premises where additional precautions are taken to prevent unauthorized persons from entering without authorization from the required authority.
Did you read this?
Anyone who enters these regions without specific authorization is guilty of an offence and must be charged with imprisonment for a duration not exceeding two years, a fine not exceeding five thousand shillings or both.
Someone please educate Miss Trudy;
