ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru yesterday rooted for strict laws to deal with dishonest bloggers.
He said bloggers misuse their space for personalised and false attacks on innocent citizens and senior public officials and institutions.
“We drafted the law and it was taken through Parliament. It was contested and we took it to court,” Mucheru said, referring to the computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, 2018.
The Judiciary issued a temporary injunction blocking the implementation of the law. Mucheru said they are waiting to hear from the courts. He spoke during the 70th anniversary of Lenana School, Nairobi.
