Kenya: ICT Policy Set to Change, Minister

Kenya's new Minister of Information and Communication, Hon. Raphael Tuju, has announced his support for the liberalisation and advancement of ICT policy in Kenya. Speaking after a week-long ICT policy advocacy workshop in Nairobi the minister noted that "In Kenya, I do realise that we have problems with our telephony connectivity and the snail’s pace in connectivity, as well as the high costs of international calls". The workshop, organised by the Association for Progressive Communications, brought together a range of stakeholders from a total of eight African countries.
