[kictanet] CA’s Sh85m plan to link remote areas with mobile voice

[Victor Kapiyo]

The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) will spend millions to build
infrastructure to connect remote villages without mobile voice coverage
following an order by President Uhuru Kenyatta to surrender unspent
billions to the police.

Mr Kenyatta said the authority had nothing to show for the billions of
shillings it has collected for a fund established to support infrastructure
in remote areas dubbed the Universal Service Fund (USF).

Now, CA has announced plans to spend Sh85 million in connecting 23,000
residents in six sub-locations in Baringo County to mobile voice coverage.

85m only.
