KDN rolls out alternative fibre cable

People employed to dig trenches manually are paid between Sh3,000 and Sh10,000 a week depending on the length of the trench.

Organisations based in the areas that the fibre optic cable pass through will also benefit from its connectivity.

Depending on the terrain, the company uses either machine or manual labour to dig the trenches.

While it costs roughly Sh40,000 to do three kilometers using manual labour, it costs slightly above Sh10, 000 to do the same distance.
