Dear Listers, 

I trust you are all well. I can hardly keep up with all the great stuff you all are doing and sharing on this forum but this has caught my attention. Perhaps as a mom, my eyes are selective and my antennae went up for this one. 

I have read some of your great inputs on legal, policy and legislative gaps that may need to be bridged. We are ready to prioritize this should some of you be willing to work with Senate ICT committee  to support this great initiative of the DCI further by entrenching it in robust frameworks that would have positive and sustainable impact for our children. 

I look forward to hearing  more ideas and working on this with you. 

Additionally, if there are other developments that you feel we should be aware of and acting on, do feel free to reach out. 

With kind regard, 

Sen. Abshiro

Hello Listers,

Great development for children in our online space in Kenya; Opening of the Cyber Wing at the Child Protection Unit (DCI).

The wing will support investigators tackle Child Online crimes. 

The unit will be the first in Africa to be linked to Interpol's International Child Sexual Exploitation database.
