Kenya is seeking to draw on Morocco’s expertise in digital forensics and the fight against transnational organised crime.
Kenya’s Attorney General, Renson Ingonga, said Thursday in Nairobi that his country aims to build on Morocco’s know-how to strengthen its capabilities in combating cybercrime.
Meeting with Morocco’s ambassador to Kenya and South Sudan, Abderrazzak Laassel, he praised Rabat’s advances in digital forensics, describing this expertise as a priority for Nairobi.
Talks focused on expanding bilateral cooperation to other judicial areas, including counterterrorism, anti-corruption, and financial crime. Both sides agreed to step up continuous training for prosecutors, enhance technical support, and increase exchanges of best practices.
The meeting falls within the framework of a memorandum of understanding signed in 2023 between the prosecution services of both countries, which provides for greater cooperation on judicial reforms, capacity building, and joint efforts against transnational organised crime.
The partnership, described as “mutually beneficial,” is expected to strengthen security and judicial cooperation between Nairobi and Rabat in a regional context marked by rising digital and economic threats.
