The Kenya’s race towards artificial intelligence governance through the Artificial Intelligence Bill 2026 raises several concerns. The adoption of a risk-based model similar to that of the European Union, unmatches a domestic tech sector which dependents on foreign, closed-source APIs. The Bill also features significant statutory gaps regarding serious incident reporting, electoral speech protections, and jurisdictional overlaps with existing regulators. This paper examines these concerns, demonstrating how structural borrowing risks causing a burden on local innovation without adequately protecting the citizens that the law intends to serve.
