The High Court has agreed to fast-track the hearing of a petition seeking to clear the way for the entry of US billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink into the Kenyan market, by providing satellite internet services.

Appearing before Justice Lawrence Mugambi yesterday, the parties in the case including Kituo Cha Sheria, Safaricom and Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), agreed to drop preliminary issues, to speed up the hearing of the matter.
