Will fresh attempt to break up telcos succeed? In coming days, the Member of Parliament is expected to present a Bill in Parliament that seeks to introduce new legislation for telecommunication service providers. The Bill gives the telcos six months from the date it is signed into law to effect the separation. This is however not the first time Parliament, or the Government, is attempting to introduce legislation aimed at clipping the power of service providers perceived to have grown beyond the traditional telecommunication service areas. In the course of the inquiry, regulators including CA, Competition Authority of Kenya and top management of various service providers were invited to give their submissions.
