Activist and software developer Rose Njeri has been freed after the court found that the two criminal charges filed by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) were illegal and did not disclose any offence.
While delivering his ruling on Friday, June 20, Milimani principal magistrate Geoffrey Onsarigo found that the charge sheet against Njeri was defective.
In addition, the presiding magistrate ruled that the charge sheet was ambiguous, which informed the court's decision not to admit it.
Njeri had been arraigned and charged with the unauthorised interference with computer systems, contrary to Section 16 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act No. 5 of 2018.
