CCK Ag DG should confirm the operating condition of TEAMS/EASY/SEACOM/LION optical cables all terminating at Mombasa. He should also confirm whether there is an operating agreement with the KPA authorities (ie the MD) that all shipping vessels that dock in KPA berthing facilities in Mombasa shall NOT interfere with any of these fibre cables.

LION is a cable meant to connect the Oceanic Islands to the Internet, through the cables at Mombasa. I doubt if it has onward connectivity (this is according to the Orange CEO in an interview done for the March issue of CIO East Africa Magazine)
