Matatus and e-commerce firms offering courier services without requisite licensing from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) face up to Sh300,000 in penalties upon conviction as the agency moves to rein in unauthorised operators.

In a public notice on Tuesday, the CA said the punishment could also include a year in jail or both under Section 49 of the Kenya Information and Communications Act enacted in 1998.
