President Ruto Defends New Social Media Law Amid Protests - October 2025

President William Ruto defended a controversial social media regulation law he signed on October 15, stating it is designed to protect Kenyans online. The government refuted claims that proposed amendments to the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act are intended to suppress freedom of expression. However, the legislation has faced opposition, with youth in Kisumu protesting against the proposed Social Media Freedom Bill due to concerns about restrictions on online liberties. President Ruto is countering what he describes as misinformation regarding the law's purpose, which aims to govern online activity in Kenya.
