Busia senator Okiya Omtatah has moved to court seeking to quash mobile termination rates (MTR) set by Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) last November, arguing that it is arbitrary and the highest in the region.

The regulator set the MTR at Sh0.41 per minute on November 17, 2023 but the legislator argues that the new rates, although a reduction from the previous Sh0.58 per minute, is seven times more than the Sh0.06 recommended by the consultants hired by CA.
