Telkom Kenya shed over 160,000 mobile subscribers in the three months ended March 2026, extending a prolonged decline that has seen the operator tumble from the country's third-largest mobile network to fifth place within less than two years.

Fresh data from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) shows Telkom's active mobile subscriber base fell to 584,438 as of March from 744,902 recorded last December.
