    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, just a few months ago, the interconnection rates were very high. Right now, due to the research that has been done and the determination too, interconnection rates have been lowered drastically to Kshs2.2, down from anything between Kshs7 and Kshs12. That was just recently. Since there are contracts between operators and they have signed them, then they are bound by these rates. If they were to charge anything higher than these rates, then they would be held responsible by the CCK. The beginning of interconnection rate is now; it has already taken effect. We should now be hearing from the public if there are any complaints. I think there is a way to resolve those issues in the system provided for in the interconnection rates. I need to clarify that the best way is to stagger these things downwards, so that in three years, we come to a uniform rate. However, for now we determine using the agreement and the range of Kshs2 and Kshs0.99; that is where the rates fall now. My belief is that the CCK have done the right thing by giving themselves a three-year timeline to bring the cost down to a uniform rate. However, it is much lower than what we have experienced in the past."
