The case against web developer and activist Rose Njeri has been dismissed.
In the ruling delivered by Milimani Principal Magistrate Geoffrey Onsaringo, the court cited that particulars presented by the prosecution failed to meet the legal threshold required to constitute a valid charge.
The activist had been previously released on Ksh. 100,000 bond awaiting the court’s decision on her trial.
Njeri had been accused of violating section 16 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act.
Her arrest sparked outrage last month following allegations of cybercrime.
According to claims by authorities, she was behind the development of a digital platform designed to collect public feedback on the 2025 Finance Bill- an app that disrupted parliamentary email systems.
However, the magistrate ruled the charge as framed and could not proceed.
