NAIROBI: Safaricom has signed an agreement with Kenya Electricity Transmission Company for use of its power transmimision lines to improve its network at the Coast.

Ketraco was granted a network facility provider license by the Communication Authority in 2014 which allows it to lease out fibre to licensed application and content service providers as a way of diversifying the company’s revenue base.
The signing agreement was witnessed by Safaricom’s chief executive Bob Collymore and Ketraco’s acting managing director Fernandes Barasa.
