There is ongoing work where the major four operators in the country are to ensure that if a tower is built, sharing of towers has been made mandatory by the regulator. During the Committee of the whole House, we said we are going to bring some amendments to ensure that we do not punish people for doing good business. Since the last ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I know there are many companies in the country like the East African Breweries Limited (EABL), that have been doing business for a long time and they are not a monopoly. There are many other entities that have come up and have competed. In this sector, by the time we were doing the inquiry, one of the operators was commanding a market share of 14 per cent.

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On the same note, when it comes to connectivity, we have what we call the national fibre optic that is connecting all our sub-county offices, hospitals and also most of our schools. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am saying we need resources to connect fibre across the country. We need resources and money for maintenance, repair and to lay new fibre say to schools and polling stations. I believe next year’s election will be digital. It will be relayed but you cannot relay without internet connection in our polling centres. Sometime in 2016, this House agreed with the Ministry of ICT and the NG-CDF to set up constituency innovation hubs to help our youth to create employment opportunities online. It is sad that most constituencies have not allocated NG-CDF money so that ... view
