Atheists in Kenya Society have accused former National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale for allegedly invoking religious bias in the bill criminalising pornography. The Computer Misuse and Cyber Crimes (Amendment) Act, 2020 is set for publication and introduction in the National Assembly for consideration this week. The Bill proposes harsh penalties for those who use electronic mediums to promote terrorism and extreme religious or cult activities and publish pornography. “A person shall not knowingly publish pornography through a computer system or produce pornography for the purpose of its publication through a computer system,” the Bill states. Those who possess pornographic materials in a computer system or on a computer data storage medium will also not be spared.
