Director-General Francis Wangusi on Tuesday said funds are already committed to other projects and the authority does not have the money required by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
Last month, President Kenyatta directed that CA gives Sh1 billion from the Universal Service Fund to the DCI.
“The money that we have for the Universal Service Fund is already committed. I wouldn’t really say that we have money to put into other projects if the priority projects have not been completed,” Mr Wangusi said.
Wangusi said that the monies available had been directed towards connecting 78 sub-locations that do not have access to any network.
The money will also be used to connect broadband to schools across the country at a cost of Sh7 billion.
He said CA still needs Sh70 billion to fill existing gaps.
