Parliament has approved the establishment of the National Cybersecurity Agency (NCSA), aimed at strengthening Kenya’s response to rising cyber threats and safeguarding the country’s rapidly expanding digital infrastructure.
The approval of the National Cybersecurity Agency Order, 2026, paves the way for the creation of an autonomous regulatory and technical body that will coordinate all national cybersecurity efforts across government, private sector operators, and critical infrastructure providers.
The Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy said the new agency will play a central role in preventing, detecting and responding to cyber incidents as Kenya’s dependence on digital systems continues to grow.
“The establishment of the National Cybersecurity Agency is a key milestone in securing Kenya’s digital ecosystem and ensuring resilience against evolving cyber threats,” the Ministry said following parliamentary approval.
