Authorities had accused Njeri of disrupting parliamentary e-mail systems and alleged her actions constituted cyber harassment. However, the court found that the prosecution failed to present a valid charge.

In delivering the ruling, the magistrate stated that the evidence provided was insufficient to support the claims brought against her.

Njeri’s platform had gained traction among Kenyans who have been expressing growing discontent over the proposed Finance Bill, which critics say would impose heavy tax burdens on ordinary citizens.

The ruling has been welcomed by civil society groups and digital rights advocates, who view it as a win for freedom of expression and civic engagement in Kenya’s digital space.
