These are challenging times that are being felt across the globe and Africa is suffering, including Kenya. Cyber crime is rife and for many there does not appear to be an adequate response. In some areas there is a fear of stigma, of quarantine, of social disorder in part because of increased unemployment, and as businesses and communities face new ways of working and new challenges so concerns about social cohesion and employee dissatisfaction are surfacing. So what are the emerging challenges that Kenyan security will face as we move forward? Is the view in Kenya that the security sector has been a success or has it failed to meet expectations? Will security be increased or downsized and what then are the implications? What role is there for the security regulator? In this webinar we will address:

Taking account of concerns such as unemployment, social cohesion and cyber crime what are the priorities for the security sector?
Has the security sector been a success or failure, and what is the role of the regulator?
What factors will most influence the development of security in Kenya and how can they be influenced?
