Court Suspends Key Sections of Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act Signed by President Ruto - October 2025

President Ruto signed a controversial social media regulation law on October 15, which sparked significant debate and uproar among Kenyans. Following public outcry and legal challenges, the High Court has suspended the implementation of key sections of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act. The suspension was a temporary measure taken by a Kenyan court. Amid the controversy, MP John Kiarie urged Kenyans to read and understand the new law, stating that "fake news" was being spread online about the legislation. The law's introduction also prompted public discussion on whether citizens have the right to reject such legislation.
