Recently, the communications regulator formerly known as CCK rebranded, and is now known as the Communication Authority of Kenya.

During the launch ceremony presided over by none other than President Uhuru Kenyatta, the chairman of the regulatory board handed over to the Exchequer a fat cheque of Sh4 billion in dividends from the previous year. An additional sweetener of Sh2.3 billion was handed over to the Treasury in the form of the ten-year renewal licence fee paid by Safaricom.
