Police in Nakuru are facing scrutiny after arresting May Jerono for a social media post and allegedly harassing her mother, Census Ruto, by ejecting her from a primary school classroom. The incident has raised concerns about police conduct and freedom of expression.

• May Jerono was arrested and taken to Kitale from Nakuru before being released.
• Census Ruto, a primary school teacher at Athinai Primary School, was forcibly removed from her class in front of pupils and colleagues.
• The alleged harassment and arrest stemmed from a social media post shared by May Jerono on her Facebook page.
• The family's lawyer states the arrest was unprocedural and an attempt to intimidate over freedom of expression, as the post did not constitute a criminal offense.
• The case is scheduled to resume on March 2, 2026, in Kitale.
