Kenya is moving to tighten national security with the Strategic Goods Control Bill, 2025, a proposed law to regulate goods and technology that could be used to develop weapons of mass destruction.

Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration Raymond Omollo said the law will establish a licensing system, regulate brokers and digital operators, and introduce tough penalties for violations.
