Telecommunications operator Airtel Kenya and global tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google will not cede at least 30 percent of their shareholding to locals after the government agreed to have the rule deleted from the national ICT policy guidelines.

In a notice on Tuesday, the ICT ministry invited the submission of public comments on the proposal.
