> *About the Critical Infrastructure Protection Bill*
>
> The Government of Kenya, through the Ministry of Information
> Communications and Technology in fulfillment of its mandate to the people
> of Kenya, has been undertaking key infrastructure projects across the
> country considered critical in nature. This infrastructure includes roads,
> Power lines, Pipelines, ICT infrastructure and water reticulation systems
> among others.
>
> Currently, the deployment, maintenance and protection of Critical
> Infrastructure is done in an independent and uncoordinated manner leading
> to disruption of essential services and losses due to damage.  There is
> need therefore to consider having a whole inclusive approach in the
> planning, designing implementation and protection of critical
> infrastructure.
>
> It is on this basis that the Cabinet Secretaries of the Ministries of
> Transport and Infrastructure, Energy and Petroleum and that of Information,
> Communications and Technology have formed a Taskforce to draft a policy and
> legislative framework for the protection of critical infrastructure in the
> Country.
>
> In this regard, a task force on formulation of a Critical Infrastructure
> Protection Bill was formed on 27th March 2015 (Kenya Gazette (No. 1987 of
> 2015).
