Three Subarus sent to arrest me: Rose Njeri speaks after her release

In a video doing rounds on social media, Njeri lauded Kenyans for their unwavering support in demanding her release from police custody. 

She pointed out to her 'ludicrous' arrest and subsequent detention at Pangani Police Station, 

"I express my sincere gratitude to anyone who raised their voice in any way regarding my illegal arrest, detention, house search and possession of my property by the State," Njeri stated. 

"The show, of course, during the illegal arrest and intimidation by around 15 men, that is, three Subarus versus the lack of crime committed, was ridiculous. I'm happy that you all saw that as the case and reacted as you did with the hashtags and protests and visits. I can't thank you enough for your support."

She appealed to Kenyans to vote wisely for their leaders during the next elections, citing that the leaders we choose have a direct impact on the society. 

"I'd like to send a plea to all Kenyans of voting age, the next time you have a ballot paper in front of your face, and this might sound harsh, I beg you to think, really think. If I may offer a suggestion, don't vote for a person who doesn't respect our Kenyan Constitution," she added. 

"Don't vote for someone who doesn't respect court orders and don't vote for someone who's only angry he got kicked out."

"Vote for someone who respects and defends the Kenyan Constitution because if tomorrow you're in my shoes, you'd want to have a leader who can extend to you your Constitutional rights. So your decision on who you vote for is personal and directly affects you."

She also urged for a reconstituted Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) before the upcoming elections. 

"We need to rally for a reconstituted IEBC. According to Kenyan law, elections should be held every fifth year of the presidency. If you do your math, we are due for elections in August 2026. We are in June 2025 and don't have a functional IEBC, so we don't have the luxury of time. We need to focus our energies on the reconstitution of the IEBC," Njeri pointed out. 

Njeri was released on a Ksh.100,000 bond after Magistrate Geoffrey Onsarigo scheduled the ruling to June 20, 2025, to determine whether she will answer to cybercrime-related charges. 

During the court session, detectives intimated that Njeri directed mass emails to the official system of the Clerk of the National Assembly and hence interfered with the normal functioning of the systems. 

However, her defense team, comprising of former Chief Justice David Maraga, argued that the charges lack a clear legal foundation and infringe upon her constitutional rights.
