The Kenya Kwanza Government promised to reduce the cost of calls and data to allow wananchi and especially the youth to use online platforms for entertainment, information and business.
In November 2023, the Communications Authority of Kenya announced a reduction in charges of mobile call rates beginning March 2024, a move that was informed by the prevailing economic environment. However, the reduced rates are only applicable to apply to only local voice traffic, which means calls originating and terminating within Kenya.
