Mr Kebaso was arrested on October 8, and booked at Lang’ata Police Station and was later informed that he would be charged with creating disturbance in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace.
The activist was later released on a free bond waiting to be arraigned in Kibera for plea taking.
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) wants a section of the Penal Code that creates the offence of ‘creating a disturbance in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace’ declared unconstitutional.
The lawyers’ body argues that section 95(1)(b) of the Penal Code, is a “colonial relic” that infringes on the right to Freedom of Expression as provided by the Constitution, and the offence is too broad and vague.
