This official Kenya Law portal page carries the Penal Code, Chapter 63, in its 2023 revised edition, including Section 134, which criminalizes destroying, damaging or defiling a place of worship or an object held sacred with intent to insult a religion, and Section 138, which criminalizes wounding religious feelings, both misdemeanors carrying up to two years' imprisonment. Commentators note the provisions are rarely used, but neither has been repealed.

Assessment
Reliability Tier

Kenya's own official law reporting body publishes the Penal Code's current, revised statute text; the strongest possible form for a fact about what a country's own criminal law provides, hence the top tier.
