[kictanet] TEAMS | EASSY Fibre Cables Cut? SEACOM | LION?

[Brian Munyao Longwe]

the Kenyan rumor mill... someone on twitter today was even suggesting
that a Nyeri woman is in custody "helping police with the
investigations" surrounding the fiber cut....

But on a more serious note, I heard on radio today that repair will
take 3 weeks, is that true or is it more like the 7 days mentioned
earlier?

Regards,

Brian
