10489690_729045137156607_5856784686708335436_nKenya’s CCK has rebranded to Communications Authority of Kenya with a remittance of over Four Billion to the National Treasury in a culmination of ICT sector reforms that will ensure a good measure of regulatory independence and transparency in the management of the ICT sector.

The industry regulator now assumes an enhanced scope and jurisdiction with an added mandate to develop and review Regulations on SIM card registration.  The Authority‘s mandate in regulating electronic transactions now includes cyber security while the Broadcasting regulatory function has equally expanded to include administering broadcast content, developing media standards and monitoring compliance .

Speaking during the launch of the new identity, His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta noted the country’s fast adoption of ICTs and called for the need to have a strong regulatory framework in line with the ever changing industry trends.

He said the fast developments were an indicator of the of a vibrant ICT sector. The current government spend on ICTs is more than 5.16 Million US Dollars with a planned increase to 5.86 billion in 2017. Government also plans to increase the budgetary allocation to ICTs and also spend at least 7.8 billion on infrastructure development in the coming decade.

President Kenyatta also launched the Kenya’s National Cybersecurity Framework that includes the National Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and the Kenya Computer Incident Response Team Co-ordination Centre (KE-CIRT/CC).  The two facilities are established to promote efficient management of critical internet resources and facilitate the investigation and prosecution of cybercrime.  The KE-CIRT/CC provides early warning and advisory services for cyber incidents while the Public Key Infrastructure will facilitate the issuance of virtual identities to secure online transactions in the country.
