FY17 HIGHLIGHTS
On a regular, ongoing basis, we deliver
value to our regulators by complying
with the obligations they have given
us and through communicating and
engaging with them on the issues that
arise. In response to the SDG strategy, we
now ensure that all collaborations and
discussions with regulatory bodies support
the creation and expansion of resilient
infrastructure development in Kenya,
based on inclusive, sustainable models
that foster innovation.
Some of the specific issues on which we
have engaged our regulators during the
reporting period include the Network
Redundancy, Resilience and Diversity
(NRRD) guidelines and regulations
for ICT networks, the new National
ICT Policy, how best to monitor and
eliminate the use of counterfeit handsets
and discussions around the proposed
Infrastructure Sharing Regulations.
(Please
see the
Governance, Risk and Regulation
material matter section on page 24 of this
report for further detail on these specific
issues.)
