Nine Moi University students who were arrested and charged in connection with the circulation of hate leaflets in a WhatsApp group have been released on Sh1 million bonds with a surety of the same amount or an alternative cash bail of Sh500, 000 each.
They were accused of spreading false information to create fear ahead of Tuesday’s elections.
The students were charged with publishing false information, contrary to the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act of 2018.
The court heard that on July 29 at Moi University in Kesses sub-county in Ua-sin Gishu, jointly with others not in court, they published false information using their mobile phones and caused fear and anxiety among Kenyans.
Deputy President William Ruto on Thursday launched a scathing attack on President Uhuru Kenyatta, accusing him of planning to disrupt the General Election using students.
