Tuesday, June 25, 2024 –Law Society Of Kenya has raised concerns on the possibility by government to shut down the internet during the Tuesday June 25 anti-Finance Bill protest.
In a statement shared out on Monday night, the lawyers’ union pointed out that there are hidden plans for the government to interrupt free flow of internet as Gen Zs take to the streets against the contentious Finance Bill.
The LSK has, therefore, warned that such a retrogressive move will be punished by law because the Constitution does not allow government to interfere with communication rights of her citizens.
“The Government continues to perpetuate unconstitutional infringements of the rights of Kenyans in its determination to quell public dissent. We are apprehensive of disquieting reports of plans to shut down and/or interfere with internet connectivity during tomorrow’s protests. Such a move would be an affront to Articles 33, 34, and 35 of the Constitution. We firmly warn the government against taking such ill-advised, unconstitutional actions,” a statement from the LSK read in full.
The statement indicated that 27 international organisations and Kenyan Association of Content Creators, lawyers, medics as well as human rights defenders had expressed deep concerns of the potential possible internet and mass media interruptions during this week’s demonstration organised by young men and women.
