High Court Rules Meta Can Be Sued in Kenya
by Victor Kapiyo 05 Apr '25

05 Apr '25

The High Court has ruled that Meta, Facebook's parent company, can be sued in Kenya for its alleged role in facilitating the spread of content that incited ethnic violence in Ethiopia's Tigray region between 2020 and 2022. The landmark decision rejects Meta's argument that Kenyan courts lack jurisdiction because Meta isn't registered as a company in Kenya. The lawsuit, is one of three against Meta in Kenya on its content moderation practices, which it recently made major changes on in the US. It is yet to be seen whether the company will appeal the decision.

Court says mandatory school fee payment via e-Citizen unlawful
by Victor Kapiyo 02 Apr '25

02 Apr '25

The High Court has nullified the government’s directive requiring parents to pay school fees through eCitizen, saying it is unconstitutional. Justice Chacha Mwita also quashed a January 2024 circular issued by then Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang, which contained the directive. The court ruled that the directive was implemented without adequate public participation and partners’ engagement, thus violating constitutional provisions. Justice Mwita also found that the Sh50 convenience fee imposed on transactions on e-Citizen has no legal basis.
