</div>
<div>For purposes of clarity on the objects of the tender in question, I wish to refer listers to the public tender document which is available on CA’s website at
<a href="https://ca.go.ke/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Consultancy-Services-For-The-Study-On-Over-The-Top-OTTs-Technologies-Services-In-Kenya.pdf">
https://ca.go.ke/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Consultancy-Services-For-The-Study-On-Over-The-Top-OTTs-Technologies-Services-In-Kenya.pdf</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In brief, the Authority, under its strategic objective of enabling widespread deployment of infrastructure and services through promotion of new and emerging technologies, plans to undertake a study to determine the regulatory mechanisms that can be employed
to cater for new and emerging areas with specific focus on over the top services. The consultant shall be expected to propose the regulatory approach that the Authority can take in respect to OTTs. CA takes this opportunity to invite listers who meet the
requirements set out in the tender documents to submit their bids by 14th November 2018. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>CA wishes to assure listers that we have not interest whatsoever in snooping into your WhatsApp conversations as that would be against the spirit and letter of the constitution. We have however noted that the headlines on the articles on this tender are
misleading, and the Authority is taking up this matter with the respective editors. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope this clarification puts this matter to rest. </div>

<div>Thanks for sharing. I’m curious as to what the world is coming to. Everyone wants to snoop and regulate. Can the CA tell us what’s the major value proposition to increasing snooping on us?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regulators need to spend more time enabling the sector they are supposed to grow and the CA has really been progressive in many ways. Once in a while though they try to go back to the bad old KANU days. The onus is on us to remind them that Kenyans shut
that door kitambo sana.<br>

The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) is in search of a consultant to study and determine how the so-called over-the-top services (OTTS) operated by groups such as Facebook, which runs WhatsApp, and Skype owner Microsoft, could be regulated.</p>
