Nairobi Court Throws Out Charges Against Web Developer Rose Njeri

Web developer Rose Njeri can now breathe a sigh of relief after a Nairobi court dismissed the charges filed against her, citing a defective charge sheet.

Njeri, who appeared in court earlier today, was visibly relieved as the magistrate ruled that the prosecution had failed to present a valid and properly framed charge sheet. 

The court maintained that proceeding with the case in its current form would amount to a miscarriage of justice.

The dismissal marks a significant development in a case that had drawn public interest, particularly within the tech community. 

Legal experts say a defective charge sheet typically means that key legal requirements such as clarity of the charges or proper description of the alleged offense were not met.

She faced unspecified charges that have now been quashed, pending further directions from the prosecution, if any.

Her legal team welcomed the ruling, terming it a victory for justice and due process.
