Rose Njeri charged with breaching cybercrime law over tool for people to show opposition to proposed tax changes
A Kenyan software developer and digital activist who was arrested last week after creating a tool for people to express their opposition to a proposed law has been arraigned in court and released on bail, amid public anger at her detention and growing signs of repression in the east African country and its neighbours.
Rose Njeri was on Tuesday accused of violating the country’s computer misuse and cybercrime law.
