By DEMAS KIPRONOMore by this AuthorKenya is currently in the process of enacting a Computer and Cybercrimes law to curb illegal activity conducted through a computer system. Things that are considered criminal in the real world are also considered illegal within the cyberspace. Crimes involving computer systems such as unauthorised access may also be addressed by the Kenya Information and Communications Act. The bill creates offences criminalising the exchange of particular types of content, including “false publications and communications” that “detrimentally affect a person”. One can innocently spread a “false publication” or content that “detrimentally affects a person” without criminal intent.
