Kenya has experienced a staggering 3 billion cyberattacks in the last three months, targeting government, cloud, and critical sector systems, according to the National Computer and Cybercrime Coordination Committee (NC4).

• Over 3 billion cyberattacks recorded in three months.
• NC4 report highlights rising digital crimes including fraud, identity theft, and harassment.
• Nairobi identified as the leading hotspot for cybercrime activities.
• The upcoming National Cybersecurity Agency (NCSA) is expected to bolster defense against these threats.

Kenya's National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and the Kenya Law Reform Commission (KLRC) are collaborating on a new system to handle minor traffic offenses administratively, moving them out of the criminal justice system.

• Motorists disputing fines will have their cases heard by an independent tribunal.
• This reform aims to reduce the caseload for courts and improve the efficiency of traffic law enforcement.
• The initiative builds upon a previous NTSA framework introduced on June 1, 2026, allowing for out-of-court settlements of fines.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has announced stricter vehicle inspection rules and new fees, including for private cars, effective July 1, 2026.

• All vehicles older than four years from manufacture date will require annual inspections, impacting thousands of motorists.
• Motorists will face new booking and inspection fees, with owners of vehicles below 3,000cc paying up to Ksh2,000.
• Inspections will also be mandatory for modified, salvaged, or re-registered vehicles, with non-compliance risking fines up to Ksh20,000 or imprisonment.

The Kenyan Interior Ministry is launching a new initiative to help citizens recover money sent to the wrong recipients, aiming to combat a growing cybercrime trend.

• The problem is identified as the deliberate withholding of electronic payments sent by mistake, a common cybercrime offense.
• The National Computer and Cybercrime Coordination Committee is spearheading the effort, collaborating with banks and mobile network operators.
• Nairobi has been identified as the hotspot for these digital crimes, with a high concentration of transactions and institutions.
