Kenya on Friday rejected US government claims that the use of China’s Huawei in the roll-out of the Safaricom fifth-generation (5G) network risks exposing the country to Chinese spying through the high speed telecoms networks.
Joe Mucheru, the Cabinet Secretary for ICT, said the US pressure on countries to ditch Huawei in new networks is politically motivated and not based on evidence showing it would enable Chinese spying.
