There was a massive uproar on social media following the arrest of Kenyan software developer Rose Njeri on Saturday, after she created and shared a website that allowed citizens to submit objections to the controversial Finance Bill 2025 with a single click. Njeri was reportedly detained at Pangani Police Station without bail, sparking widespread condemnation from civil society groups, legal advocates, and the public, who decried the arrest as a blatant abuse of power and an attack on digital freedom. Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo confirmed it is pursuing her case, while online users rallied in her defense, calling out the government's attempt to silence dissent. The incident has intensified scrutiny of the Finance Bill, which includes alarming proposals such as granting tax authorities access to personal data, and has revived memories of the 2024 Gen Z protests against similar measures.
