Content creator and digital producer Director Trevor has appealed to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to clarify on how cases involving digital explicit content are investigated and handled.
In a statement on his social media account, Instagram, the digital creator said the rapid growth of digital content in Kenya has created a need for better public understanding of the legal process surrounding such cases.
According to Trevor, many Kenyans, especially digital creators, are often left with questions whenever explicit content cases emerge online.
Clear communication from the relevant authorities would help address confusion and ensure members of the public understand what the law says.

“As digital content continues to grow in Kenya, we respectfully request the DCI and other relevant government agencies to help the public understand how cases involving digital explicit content are handled,” Trevor wrote.
Additionally, Trevor revealed that the public would benefit from knowing the steps investigators follow, as well as the rights guaranteed to those involved in such investigations.
He noted that understanding the responsibilities and limitations of investigative agencies would help reduce speculation whenever similar incidents occur.
“We would appreciate clear communication on the legal process, the constitutional rights of those involved, the powers and limits of investigative agencies, and what the public should expect whenever such cases arise,” he added.
The digital producer further argued that transparency from the authorities would help promote legal awareness while limiting the spread of misinformation on social media.
He said many online discussions are often driven by assumptions because people do not fully understand the legal process
