Software developer Rose Njeri, who was behind a website facilitating objections to the 2025 Finance Bill, has gained global recognition after being featured in the latest TIME100 Next list, joining a host of influential personalities worldwide. Njeri became the sixth Kenyan to feature in the list, after the likes of nominated Senator Crystal Asige, activist Elizabeth Wathuti, and lawyer Mercy Mutemi. “I’m incredibly honoured and excited to share that I’ve been named in the 2025 #TIME100NEXT list!” she said. Njeri grabbed headlines for the creation of the website, which gave Kenyans an opportunity to submit their views on the contentious 2025 Finance Bill. The website led to Njeri’s arrest, sparking uproar and fury among Kenyans, with many terming it a move to suppress human rights and censorship.
