Last month, President Kenyatta directed that CA gives Sh1 billion from the
Universal Service Fund to the DCI.

The Universal Service Fund was set up in 2009 and is primarily financed by
mandatory contributions from licensed operators.

Director-General Francis Wangusi on Tuesday said funds are already
committed to other projects and the authority does not have the money
required by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.

Last month, President Kenyatta directed that CA gives Sh1 billion from the
Universal Service Fund to the DCI.

“The money that we have for the Universal Service Fund is already
committed. I wouldn’t really say that we have money to put into other
projects if the priority projects have not been completed,” Mr Wangusi said.

Wangusi said that the monies available had been directed towards connecting
78 sub-locations that do not have access to any network.

The money will also be used to connect broadband to schools across the
country at a cost of Sh7 billion.

He said CA still needs Sh70 billion to fill existing gaps.
