Tech-Driven Future for Kenya National Library Service

Today, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Information, Communication and the Digital Economy, H.E Hon. William Kabogo, EGH, appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to present the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy's submissions on the Kenya National Library Service Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 20 of 2023).
The Ministry proposed amendments aimed at transforming the Kenya National Library Service (KNLS) into a modern national digital knowledge institution that supports Kenya's Digital Transformation Agenda. 
The proposals emphasized aligning KNLS with national digital policies through secure interoperability with platforms such as eCitizen, strengthening cybersecurity and data protection, adopting a cloud-first approach, and ensuring digital services are accessible to all, including persons with disabilities.
Through these reforms, the Government continues to lay a strong legislative foundation for an inclusive, secure and knowledge-driven digital future.
Accompanying the CS was Principal Secretary for ICT and the Digital Economy, Mr. John Kipchumba Tanui.
