The Kenyan government is pressuring telecom operators to significantly improve their network quality and coverage to meet the growing demand for data, AI applications, and upcoming national events.

• The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) is proposing new regulations that would increase the minimum Quality of Service (QoS) compliance threshold from 80 percent to 90 percent.
• Key figures involved include Broadcasting and Telecommunications Principal Secretary Stephen Isaboke and chief executives of mobile network operators.
• The move comes amidst a rise in consumer complaints about dropped calls and slow internet speeds, and ahead of major continental sporting events Kenya is set to host.
