    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Government is aware that Multichoice Africa has notified its customers throughout the territories where its services are provided in Africa of an average increase of US$3 (Kshs234) subscription charges in its various bouquets. Multichoice is said to make annual adjustments in its subscription fees to cater for inflationary changes and increase in transporter (satellite) lease costs. The review covers all African States covered by DSTV services, including South Africa. (b) DSTV introduced multichannel subscription satellite television services in the country in 1995 through Multichoice (K) Ltd. as its local subscription service management provider and has so far employed 150 Kenyans directly and another 500 indirectly. Multichoice Kenya is a joint venture of Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) and Multichoice Africa, each having a shareholding of 40 per cent and 60 per cent, respectively. (c) In the current tariff regulations guiding competition in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector, the services provided by Multichoice are open to competition and, therefore, do not attract regulations of tariffs."
