Director Trevor calls on DCI to clarify how digital explicit content cases are handled
By Katemarthason Okudo, July 17, 2026Content creator and digital producer Director Trevor has appealed to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and other government agencies to provide the public with clear information on how cases involving digital explicit content are investigated and handled.
In a statement shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, July 16, 2026, Trevor said the rapid growth of digital content in Kenya has created a need for better public understanding of the legal process surrounding such cases.
Calls for legal clarity
According to Trevor, many Kenyans, especially digital creators, are often left with questions whenever explicit content cases emerge online.
He said clear communication from the relevant authorities would help address confusion and ensure members of the public understand what the law says.
“As digital content continues to grow in Kenya, we respectfully request the DCI and other relevant government agencies to help the public understand how cases involving digital explicit content are handled,” Trevor wrote.
The content creator explained that his appeal was not about any particular individual but about creating awareness on the legal procedures followed when such matters arise.
Wants the public informed
Trevor said the public would benefit from knowing the steps investigators follow, as well as the rights guaranteed to those involved in such investigations.
He noted that understanding the responsibilities and limitations of investigative agencies would help reduce speculation whenever similar incidents occur.
“We would appreciate clear communication on the legal process, the constitutional rights of those involved, the powers and limits of investigative agencies, and what the public should expect whenever such cases arise,” he stated.
According to Trevor, providing this information would make it easier for both creators and members of the public to understand how the law applies to digital content.
Says awareness will reduce misinformation
Trevor further argued that greater transparency from the authorities would help promote legal awareness while limiting the spread of misinformation on social media.
He said many online discussions are often driven by assumptions because people do not fully understand the legal process.
“This would go a long way in promoting legal awareness, reducing misinformation, and helping creators and the public better understand the law,” he added.
His remarks come at a time when conversations around digital content, online privacy and explicit material have attracted significant public attention, with several creators facing scrutiny over content shared on social media platforms.
The debate has also sparked discussions about the role of investigative agencies, the responsibilities of content creators and the need for the public to understand the laws governing digital spaces.
Trevor’s appeal shifts the focus from individual cases to the broader legal framework, urging the relevant authorities to educate the public on how investigations involving digital explicit content are conducted, what rights those involved have under the Constitution and what Kenyans should expect whenever such matters are reported.
