The Treasury recently announced that it has allocated Sh15.6 billion towards digitalising Kenya’s economy. For telecommunications industry players, the move holds the promise of further expansion of the reach and depth of digital connectivity.

It is a timely move that will see nearly half of these funds invested into extending and maintaining the National Optic Fiber Backbone and County Connectivity Project to reach more Kenyans.
