Why Constitutional Court nullified Computer Misuse Act provisions

“The provisions of the Computer Misuse Act, 2022, edition are, therefore, null and void because they were enacted without following the law,” Justice Mulyagonja ruled.

Section 26 of the Act, which criminalises the sharing of computer-based information like to ridicule, degrade or demean a person or promote hostility based on tribe, religion or gender, has been rendered a nullity.
