Senior Counsel Martha Karua Represents Activist Kiama Accused of Cyberbullying Uhuru

NARC-Kenya party leader Martha Karua is representing activist Mutema Wa Kiama accused of cyberbullying President Uhuru Kenyatta in court.

Mutema led a viral campaign on social media urging the International Monetary Fund (IMF) not to approve any other loans to Kenya.

The judge said he will be detained for a day pending a Magistrate’s Court ruling. The Police led by Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecution Joseph Riungu told Milimani Magistrate Jane Kamau that the State needs 14 days to complete investigations.

Detectives accused Kiama of making a viral notice with Uhuru’s face warning the world against entering into loan agreements with him on behalf of the country.

In an affidavit sworn in court by Patrick Kibowen, detectives claim Mwalimu Kiama published false information on Twitter and other social media pages.

However, his lawyers, led by Martha Karau and Harum Ndubi told objected to the application, saying that the Police want to detain him unprocedural.

The magistrate is expected to rule on the application for detention tomorrow Thursday.
