Kenyan electric motorcycle riders and advocates are calling for open, interoperable battery-swap systems, warning that proprietary networks and remote lockout features are hurting livelihoods. As e-bikes gain traction across Kenya, riders say limited swap stations and brand-locked batteries reduce flexibility and earnings. Industry players acknowledge the challenge, with some firms beginning to open their networks, but critics argue lack of standardisation remains a key barrier to scaling electric mobility despite strong investment and policy support.

Partners have launched the Digi-AI Bus, a mobile digital classroom, in Nairobi to expand access to computer science, coding, and artificial intelligence education for learners in underserved communities. Kings Rugby Development Academy, Atlas Foundation, Code Yangu, and Konza Technopolis lead the initiative to bridge digital access gaps by delivering hands-on technology training directly to schools. Organisers say the solar-powered bus will strengthen youth readiness for the digital economy and support inclusive, innovation-driven growth.

Kenya faces rising exposure to sophisticated cybercrime as artificial intelligence reshapes global threat patterns, according to the ESET Threat Report for H2 2025. The report highlights deepfake-enabled investment scams, AI-assisted malware, and advanced phishing campaigns as key risks. Experts warn that realistic impersonation attacks and mobile-based threats are accelerating fraud, while ransomware activity continues to grow, underscoring the need for stronger cyber awareness and security controls across Kenyan organisations.
