Airtel lodged a complaint with the competition watchdog over Safaricom charging voice calls for as low as 10 cents a minute, underlining the rivalry between Kenya’s top two telecoms operators.

The Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) revealed that Airtel accused Safaricom of running a promotion with voice charges that were below the mobile termination rate (MTR), which is the rate mobile phone operators charge each other for calls made across networks.
