The Outstanding Security Performance Awards have partnered with Securexpo East Africa to deliver the inaugural Kenya OSPAs at Securexpo in November 2020. 

To introduce the initiative, the OSPAs will be hosting a Thought Leadership Webinar on the topic of “How is the Kenya security sector meeting the challenge of Covid-19?
