The Togolese National Assembly has adopted a new intelligence bill aimed at consolidating national sovereignty, protecting vital state interests, and ensuring citizen security, while upholding fundamental rights.
Approved on Friday, the bill provides legal tools to help Togo counter growing security threats, including terrorism and cyberattacks.
Authorities emphasize that the law strikes a balance between security measures and individual freedoms.
In a statement, the government reaffirmed its commitment to democratic principles and citizens’ rights, stating that the legislation is designed to anticipate and respond to evolving security challenges.
Togo has faced a series of jihadist attacks in its northern regions in recent years, making intelligence reform a key priority for national security.
