East African Community member states have individual regulations regarding cybercrimes and use of electronic evidence. Given the notable challenges, there is a need to build capacity in the investigation, prosecution and judicial offices to enable effective administration of justice where these matters are involved. The states also have laws governing economic crimes. Sadly, limited capacity in investigation and prosecution have hindered recovery and tracing of resources lost through financial scams and illegal money transfers.
From 19th all through to the 21st October 2020, AGA-Africa together with stakeholders in Rwanda and Uganda held Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence workshops to exchange experiences, share knowledge and discuss solutions with attorneys and other members of the justice, law and order sectors in Africa.
