Kenyan activist and software developer Rose Njeri was freed after a Nairobi court dismissed two criminal charges against her related to cybercrime. Senior Principal Magistrate Geoffrey Onsarigo ruled that the charges filed by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) were illegal and did not disclose any offence. Njeri had been arrested for opposing the Finance Bill 2025. Separately, blogger and activist Ndiang’ui Kinyagia resurfaced in court after disappearing for 13 days. The High Court ordered the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Mohamed Amin to explain Kinyagia's whereabouts. Kinyagia stated he went into hiding fearing arrest and was subsequently barred by the court from police arrest. He was directed to record a statement at DCI headquarters. In another case, Kennedy Kalombotole, the prime suspect in the murders of two patients at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), was arraigned in court and detained under tight security at Mbagathi Hospital as investigations continue. The suspect is reportedly receiving medical treatment and the State has no clear knowledge of his true identity. Meanwhile, the autopsy report of Susan Kamengere Njoki, founder of Toto Touch Kenya who died at Chiromo Mental Hospital, revealed she was manually strangled. Following this, the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) ordered the immediate closure and evacuation of the Chiromo Hospital Braeside branch where Njoki died. On the political front, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has defended the use of terrorism charges against protesters involved in the June 25 and Saba Saba demonstrations, asserting the actions constituted terrorism. Several protesters, including Manyatta MP Gitonga Mukunji and youth leaders James Wanjiru and Wanjiku Muhia, have been charged with terrorism-related offences, with some released on cash bail. Human rights activist Boniface Mwangi was charged with unlawful possession of ammunition, including two unused teargas canisters and a blank bullet, but was released on a Ksh 1 million personal bond. The case has sparked debate over the State's use of security laws to suppress dissent. The High Court has also ordered the police to stop mounting road barricades without notice. Additionally, the court has ordered the State to locate and produce Wajir Assistant County Commissioner Hussein Abdirahaman Mohammed, who vanished on July 8, 2025, by September 16, 2025.
