  • Special Audit of the eCitizen Platform 2024
    Government of Kenya (Office of the Auditor-General)

    Following a major DDoS attack in July 2023 and concerns over revenue transparency, the Auditor-General conducted a special audit of the eCitizen portal. The audit identified critical vulnerabilities in system governance, vendor control, and data ownership.

    The audit report provided a roadmap for strengthening the national digital infrastructure, emphasizing the need for regular independent security audits of public-facing systems.

    Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA)

    In 2023 and 2024, SASRA issued directives to all regulated Saccos to conduct mandatory cybersecurity audits and system monitoring. This was prompted by an increase in cyber-attacks targeting the Sacco sub-sector's mobile money and third-party integrations.

Getting there

Direct flights are available from Mogadishu (MGQ) to Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), with carriers including Kenya Airways and Ethiopian Airlines; Kiwi.com also lists nonstop service and says a nonstop flight takes about 1.8 hours.
