• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I understand that, but if you have a handset, it is you who is in charge of it. If you leave it on automatic mode, it picks all the networks. It even picks Airtel. view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that M/s. Safaricom Ltd is charging international call rates to Kenyans in parts of Busia, including those residents living 30 kilometres inside the Kenyan border. (b) Consumer protection is a core mandate of the Communications Commissions of Kenya (CCK) under my Ministry. The CCK has, therefore, commenced investigations with a view to addressing the concern urgently. In order to expedite this investigation, I would request the hon.

• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, I am not aware about the information the hon. Member has given. However, we have already started investigations.

That is what I am not aware of. But I am aware of the fact that there are interconnection charges across the border. That is why I am saying we will investigate to establish whether it is actually M/s Safaricom doing the international charges. Once we are through, then we will be able to give the House a feedback. view

• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that mobile phone coverage is not ubiquitous across the country considering the mobile phone penetration of 63 per cent, and land coverage of 36 per cent. This is a reflection of the fact there are some areas of the country where mobile services are not available. Equally, there are citizens who do not have access to the service.
