Regulator

Who are our regulators?

The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) is the regulatory authority for the communications sector in Kenya. Established in 1999, the purpose of the CA is to ensure the people of Kenya receive the best possible services from communications providers. This responsibility requires making sure that there is adequate, healthy competition among providers, and that the public are protected from misleading or unscrupulous business practices. Among its duties, the CA licenses all communications systems and services, allocates and manages the frequency spectrum of the country, sets tariffs and monitors the activities and performance of licensees.
