I think the President was witness to the official arrival of the final stretch of the Teams cable. I don’t think anyone said that he commissioned the cable as obviously it needs to tested and go through a period of stabilization and powering. This will take some time. I do not have the most accurate figure yet but it’s about 8 to 10 weeks before handing over to Teams for acceptance testing.

good qtn MM.

In some forums, they are saying the President was duped again - and officially opened another "blank".  We need to know when or if this new pipe is now pumping packets/data.

And I dont think such data falls under the (in?) famous " Official secrecy Act"...

Hi
history was made on  12th June when the fibre landed - and it threatens to open up the region like the railway did in 1900's... Special congrats to Dr Bitange Ndemo and all those who contributed to this revolution . the ict terrain will never be the same again -EVER

the next step is the light and the byte. when will the first byte land  here on the fibre?

cheers
Muriuki Mureithi
