Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has called for the arrest of several TikTokers for allegedly harassing pedestrians while creating content. This follows outrage over a viral video showing young men attempting to engage an unwilling female pedestrian.

• Passaris urged the DCI to take immediate action, stating such acts are not entertainment and cause trauma.
• She defended the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act of 2024, citing its role in regulating online content.
• Under Kenyan law, non-consensual touching can lead to up to one year imprisonment under the Penal Code and Sexual Offences Act, or up to five years for sexually suggestive touching.
• This incident follows recent arrests of TikTokers for stamping on the Kenyan flag and inciting violence against police.
