Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication, and the Digital Economy, Hon. William Kabogo, recently hosted a high-level meeting with representatives from Microsoft at the Ministry Headquarters.

The discussions centred on critical digital initiatives, including digital transformation efforts, enhancing cybersecurity measures, and improving the security of public infrastructure and citizen data. Both parties considered the rollout of digital hubs across Kenya as a means to boost local digital ecosystems and foster innovation nationwide.

A significant focus was placed on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into government operations to improve service delivery, support policymaking, and increase overall resilience. They also examined strategies to strengthen Data Governance and Compliance, emphasising the importance of trusted cloud partnerships and maintaining sovereign control over data.
