Kenya: Blogger Nyakundi Charged For Disrespect Anne Waiguru, Mike Sonko

Blogger Cyprian Nyakundi was on Friday charged under the watchful eye of a Kiambu court with posting on the web disparaging comments against Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, Nairobi’s Mike Sonko and Kenya Power Managing Director Ken Tarus.

Mr Nyakundi was also charged with posting hate speech content against the Kikuyu community on social media.

He denied the accusations and was freed on Sh2 million bond with an alternative of a Sh1 million cash bail for the hate speech charge.

For the other three charges, he was freed on Sh200,000 bond with an alternative of Sh100,000 cash bail for each.
