CA loses power to regulate dominant telcos [feedly]
by Sidney Ochieng 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Listers, Would love to hear your thoughts on this. More worrying than losing the powers to declare dominance, which in my view is a problem, is the transfer of regulatory powers back to the ministry of ICT. The CA has been rendered effectively toothless... ---- CA loses power to regulate dominant telcos // Business Daily The Communications Authority of Kenya has lost powers to independently monitor dominance and act against its abuse – leaving it with a narrow mandate of licensing new players and allocating frequencies. ---- Shared via my feedly reader Regards, Sidney Touched not typed

Marry Christmas I would wish to send my Christmas gretingd to all of you then contribite to the wish list.I would want the CS to enable access to basic education through ICT and Media to children in Northern Kenya. Elimu TV would be a key partner in this area.

My Wish list request: Use and leverage technology to address Kenya's ticking time bomb of youth unemployment. I know we are all excited to see CS Mucheru and his team steering our country's economic growth and transformation using ICT. We can ask and also offer support to the CS. My company OPENWORLD LTD is willing to invest KES 120 Million into this project. NB: Roughly 70 percent of the Kenyan working age youth - almost 10 million people - are unemployed, although a surprising number are very well educated and possess the kinds of skills a healthy economy. Indeed, the key self taught skill for these working age youth are ICT via mobile. Joblessness among all people of working age is a serious problem in Kenya, but among young people, it is a catastrophe.
