National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has defended the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act, 2025, saying the new law is designed to safeguard familiesespecially children, from harmful online content, violent extremism, and cultism.
Speaking on Sunday during a church service at St. Teresa’s Isanjiro Catholic Church in Malava, Kakamega County, Wetang’ula dismissed claims that the law seeks to stifle free speech, describing it instead as a moral safeguard for responsible digital behavior.
