Cotu has asked MPs to support the move by Garissa Township MP Aden Duale to illegalize possessing or publishing pornographic content.

Duale, in the proposals seen by the Star, wants it made illegal to possess or publish pornography, in any computer system or data storage device.

Duale also wants the government, through the National Computer and Cybercrimes Coordination Committee, to block access to porn websites by persons within Kenya.

“This is an issue of public health concern and not freedom of speech and or access to information as provided in the Bill of Rights,” Secretary general Francis Atwoli said.
