The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has confirmed the release of a Kisii blogger, Kelvin Moinde, who was arrested last weekend on false publication charges.
Moinde was allegedly apprehended in Kisii on Saturday, June 7, and transported to Nairobi, where he was detained at the Kamukunji Police Station.
Moinde was allegedly arrested by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for his social media posts that are said to paint the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Eliud Lagat, in a bad light.
In a statement on its official X account on Monday, the ODPP stated that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Igonga did not find sufficient evidence to charge Moinde.
