At least two county governments in Kenya have hooked up their ICT infrastructure to billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite services, extending a trend that has seen the multinational stir a craze since its entry into the local market in July last year.

The latest to onboard the service is Nairobi, which publicised the shift on Tuesday, drawing the attention of Musk who reacted with a short “Starlink in Nairobi!” remark in what was seen as an acknowledgement of a special milestone for the firm in Kenya.
