LAWS DECLARED BY THE LAW COURT TO PUNISHING BLOGGERS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The High Court has declared Section 29B of the Kenya Information and Constitution Act unconstitutional.

 


The Section states that:

  “A person who by means of a licensed telecommunication system sends a message that he knows to be false for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another person, commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding fifty thousand shillings, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or to both.”
