The statement relates to the Government’s award to Safaricom of an extra spectrum for the security surveillance tender. In the statement, I would like the chairperson of the Committee to:- (1) clarify the circumstances under which the Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) awarded Safaricom the spectrum for the security surveillance tender? (2) State why the process was not subjected to competitive tendering process? (3) Explain why the Government is surrendering its CCTV security operations to a private company and state if this will not pose a security risk? (4) Confirm whether or not the security surveillance contract awarded to Safaricom had already been awarded to another Chinese Company, ZTE? (5) Provide a list of all private communication companies that the Government has entered into agreement with for the security related contract, if any?"
