In a significant legal development, Kituo cha Sheria, a Kenyan lobby group, has reportedly initiated a lawsuit against Safaricom, the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), and the Competition Authority of Kenya. The suit demands that these entities grant Starlink, the global satellite internet provider, access to the Kenyan market.
The lawsuit reportedlyargues that Starlink’s entry into the market would enhance competition and expand internet access in Kenya, particularly in underserved areas. Kituo cha Sheria contends that the exclusion of Starlink is detrimental to Kenya’s digital growth and equitable access to high-speed internet.
