The Principal Secretary, State Department for Internal Security and National Administration, Dr. Raymond Omollo, will officially open the event at 9 am.
The event will be held at Argyle Grand Hotel, Mombasa Road, Nairobi.
The forum will focus on addressing emerging threats on cybercrime and electronic evidence and identifying more effective ways for international cooperation by exchanging knowledge and practical experience.
High-level representatives will reaffirm their commitment to strengthening Africa’s resilience against cyberthreats.
The session will highlight the fast-evolving nature of cybercrime, the urgent need for coordinated action and the essential role of harmonised legal frameworks, effective investigations and robust cybercrime-related policies that will protect citizens, institutions and critical infrastructure in the years to come.
MPs summon CSs over rising Lake Naivasha waters as displacements deepen
Committee on Implementation will meet Cabinet Secretaries for Lands, Waters and Tourism and National Lands Commission over displacement of homeowners by the rising water levels of Lake Naivasha.
The meeting will take place at Bunge Towers at 10 am.
Lake Naivasha's water levels are currently rising sharply, causing significant flooding that has displaced thousands of people and affected infrastructure.
This recent surge is causing major disruptions, with the water expanding rapidly and submerging areas like the Wildlife Research and Training Institute.
Scientists attribute these rises to a combination of increased rainfall and potentially other factors like tectonic activity and human activity in the lake basin.
Rising water levels have caused significant displacements, affecting thousands of people, primarily low-wage flower farm workers in areas like Kihoto Estate.
Residents have been forced from their homes, leading to a humanitarian crisis with issues like disease fears from unsanitary conditions, and damage to infrastructure and wildlife centers.
Legislators seek answers on funding for youth seeking jobs abroad
The Diaspora Affairs and Migrant Workers Committee of the National Assembly will meet CEOs of Youth Enterprise Development Fund (Josiah Moriasi) and Uwezo Fund (Peter Lengapiani).
The meeting will take place at Bunge Towers at noon.
MPs meet the two CEOs over disbursement of loans and other support programmes aimed at assisting youth seeking employment opportunities abroad.
The youth have been finding employment opportunities abroad through government initiatives like the Kazi Majuu programme, which offers loans for travel costs, and by working with licensed recruitment agencies.
The government is also securing foreign jobs and providing resources like pre-departure training and financial assistance for those with secured contracts.
To begin, youth should register with the National Employment Authority and work with trusted, licensed agencies to ensure protection and legitimate job placement.
