>>
>> 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).
