High Court Suspends 2025 Cybercrimes Law Following Legal Challenges - October 2025

The High Court has suspended the implementation of the 2025 cybercrimes law in Kenya. The court also temporarily suspended the implementation of the new Computer and Cybercrimes Act, following public outcry and legal challenges. This action followed petitions filed in court by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), and musician Reuben Kigame challenging the new law. The law had been recently signed by President William Ruto. Former Chief Justice David Maraga also criticized President Ruto for signing the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes (Amendment) Bill into law.
