Airtel Kenya has secured an extension of its operating licence for two years from January despite a pending bill of Sh1.7 billion on its current permit, signalling a thawing of bitter relations with the State over licensing.
Airtel Africa Plc disclosed through its unaudited financial statements for the six months ended September 30 that its Kenyan subsidiary received a notice of the licence extension on September 6 from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA).
