Mixed Reactions As Junet, Ichung’wa Pressure Police to Arrest Kenyans Misusing Internet

Junet and Ichung’wah have urged the police and other investigative bodies to go after individuals who they argued are contravening the law put in place in 2018 to tackle cyber-bullying and cyber crime.

“The ongoing behavior and trend by Kenyans to abuse people through the internet by posting images such as the ones we have been seeing lately is very depressing,” Junet stated.

“I want to challenge the DCI to arrest individuals who are violating the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act and make it public that you have arrested them and taken them before courts of law so that it can be a deterrent to those who are misusing computers and artificial intelligence to insult and do very uncouth, uncivilised things,” Ichungwah stated.

“To the DCI, you must make use of the laws that we created and enacted in Parliament back in 2018. I know it had challenges in court back in 2019 but the same courts reaffirmed that law and all the provisions of that law, if the DCI are not aware and the police are not aware are fully in force,”

“All they need to do is implement that law and end these shenanigans of people insulting each other left, right and center with impunity and imagining nothing can happen to you,” he asserted

Ichungwah took the opportunity to urge Kenyans to be respectful to politicians in the online arena.

On recent abductions, Ichungwah accused individuals of faking their abductions amongst them local politicians as he urged the police to take note of such incidents.
