This is a constitutional petition challenging the vague and over broad language used to describe offences in the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, 2018. We represent the petitioner, Bloggers Association of Kenya (BAKE). One of the provisions of the Act challenged is the creation of a Fake News offence. The manner in which the offence is described is an affront to the right to freedom of expression.
