[kictanet] Safaricom to be compelled to split m-pesa business in new bill

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

The Kenya Information and Communications (Amendment) Bill 2019, which is
sponsored by Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo, is seeking to compel mobile phone
companies to form separate arms to manage any other business they engage in
outside telecommunications services.

They will also be required to "legally split or separate the
telecommunciations business from such other business.

Besides separating the revenue streams, telcos will also be required to
compensate consumers for dropped calls at the rate of Sh10 for every call
dropped for up to three dropped calls a day.
