Airtel Kenya is in a stalemate with regulators over the renewal of its operating licence, with the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) insisting that the telecommunications operator must pay a fee of Sh2.1 billion to stay in business.

The mobile firm, which says the fee is too high for a small operator like itself, has been seeking a review for over a year now without luck.
