The High Court in Kenya has declared the penal code offense of 'creating disturbance in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace' unconstitutional, null, and void. The court deemed section 95(1)(b) of the penal code as broad, vague, and inconsistent with the constitution, instructing police to cease its enforcement.

• The offense, a misdemeanor, carried a punishment of up to six months in prison.
• The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) successfully challenged the section, labeling it a 'colonial relic' that infringed on the right to Freedom of Expression.
• The court also quashed criminal proceedings against activist Morara Kebaso, who was arrested on October 8, 2024, for monitoring government projects.
