A new petition has been filed challenging the constitutionality of Kenya's recently approved Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Bill, seeking to declare multiple provisions unconstitutional, null, and void. The petitioners argue that the law infringes on fundamental rights, including privacy and freedom of expression.

• The petition claims the law introduces vague provisions criminalizing "false, misleading, or mischievous" online information and mandates the verification of social media accounts using government-issued names.
• The petition was filed by the Kenya Human Rights Commission and Reuben Kigame.
• The petitioners assert that Parliament failed to refer the Bill to the Senate, making its passage unconstitutional, and challenge amendments criminalizing communication that causes suicide as ambiguous.
