Split in government over takeover of Sh16 billion fibre optic from Telkom Kenya Monday March 01 2021 By EDWIN MUTAI Summary Jerome Ochieng, the ICT Principal Secretary told Parliament that the Ministry is not aware of plans to take control of the State-owned fibre network from Telkom Kenya which has collected Sh1.7 billion from users over the years. But ICTA is working on transferring Nofbi under its watch amid the parliamentary probe over the operations of the state owned fibre network. Mr Ochieng told the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that a deal between Telkom Kenya and ICTA on Nofbi will amount to insubordination on the part of the authority.
