Kenya Expresses Desire to Benefit from Moroccan Expertise in Combating Cyber Crimes
The Kenyan Attorney General, Benson Ngoya, expressed his country’s interest in leveraging Moroccan expertise in the field of cybercrime prevention during a meeting in Nairobi on Thursday. He praised the significant advancements Morocco has made in this area, emphasizing that combating digital crimes is a priority for Kenya as it seeks to deepen cooperation with the Kingdom.
Ngoya affirmed that the Moroccan-Kenyan partnership continues to play a crucial role in enhancing shared goals in the justice sector, particularly in the fight against transnational organized crime. He called for an expansion of the exchange of experiences in combating corruption and economic crimes.
Morocco’s Ambassador to Kenya and South Sudan, Abderrazak Laasri, reiterated that this partnership is mutually beneficial, highlighting the Kingdom’s commitment to its development through technical support, the implementation of joint training programs, and the exchange of best practices in the judicial field.
Both sides discussed the progress made in activating the partnership during the meeting, which took place at the Kenyan Attorney General’s office. They reviewed areas of mutual interest for collaboration, primarily counter-terrorism, cybercrime, corruption, and financial crimes. The parties agreed to enhance cooperation in the area of continuous training for public prosecution members in both countries.
This meeting comes within the framework of continuing to implement the memorandum of understanding signed in 2023 between the Kenyan Attorney General’s Office and Morocco’s Public Prosecution, which established a framework for cooperation in reforming the justice sector, strengthening capacities, and addressing transnational organized crime.
