Shortage of local experts hampers cybercrime fight as threat grows

Kenya has over the past five years pursued an expansive digitisation plan in a bid to improve service delivery in both private and public sectors. This has led to the establishment of such facilities like the world-celebrated Huduma centres that have significantly cut the time and money spent on accessing public services.

However, the growth in digitisation has not been met with a corresponding growth in the number of security experts even as associated threats and the cost continue to rise.
