Dumping materials that could compromise the safety and operation of critical infrastructure is also prohibited. To support the identification and designation of critical infrastructure, the Bill proposes establishing a National Critical Infrastructure Protection Committee. The Bill notes that public or private entities may request the Committee to designate their assets or facilities as Critical Infrastructure Assets. The Bill emphasises that critical infrastructure must be protected from threats such as terrorism, vandalism, espionage, and the illegal handling of stolen infrastructure components. “Any person found obstructing critical infrastructure work could face hefty fines, amounting to Sh100,000 per day of interference,” reads the Bill.
