Detectives have arraigned Harrison Nyende Mumia before the Milimani Law Courts on charges of publishing false information, contrary to Section 22(1) of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act No. 5 of 2018.

According to the prosecution, Mumia—who is the president of the Atheist Society of Kenya—allegedly committed the offence on December 30, 2025, by knowingly publishing false information against state leadership. Investigators told the court that the information was disseminated through a pseudo Facebook account operating under the name Robinson Kipruto Ngetich.

During his arrest at his residence along Kangundo Road, law enforcement officers confiscated several items believed to be relevant to the investigations. These included two company stamps belonging to Dovty Digital Technologies and the Atheists in Kenya Society, an HP EliteBook X360 laptop, a Redmi smartphone, and other assorted items.

Mumia was presented before the Milimani Law Courts, where he faced four counts related to false publication. He pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

The court granted him a bond of Sh1 million with the requirement of one contact person, or an alternative cash bail of Sh500,000 with two contact persons. He was also ordered to deposit his passport with the court as part of the bond terms.

The case is scheduled for mention on January 19, 2026.
