She praised the court for upholding justice and respecting the rule of law.

He said the court had freed him without conditions and condemned what he described as attempts to silence young voices.

Mwale Criticises His Arrest

The MCA argued that imprisoning promising young people could undermine the country's future.

His release followed his arrest over allegations linked to an alleged plot to disrupt President William Ruto's motorcade.

Earlier, communications strategist Abbie Zuena said investigators had failed to meet the constitutional threshold for continued detention.

The legal team secured his release after representing him before the court.

Kalonzo Demands Release of Abshir Abdi

Meanwhile, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has demanded the unconditional release of lawyer Abshir Abdi.

Abdi's disappearance was reported by former Law Society of Kenya President Eric Theuri, who shared CCTV footage from the lawyer's residence.

Theuri claimed armed individuals in two vehicles pursued Abdi before his alleged abduction.

He also alleged that the incident was connected to a case involving senior police officers.
