One of Kenya’s leading data communications service provider, Jamii Telecoms Ltd (JTL) has won a case against the Government’s arm dealing with urban roads, KURA (Kenya Urban Roads Authority) barring it from disrupting their fiber infrastructure in Upper Hill.
KURA who contracted m/s Mattan Contractors Ltd in May last year for road works in what is considered Kenya’s new Manhattan,had been put on the bar for wanting to interfere with fiber cables laid along Elgon, Kilimanjaro, Mara, Ralph Bunche, Longonot and Ngong Avenue roads.
Cases of fiber cuts during road construction and repair is not new in the country. Consumers have in the past lost internet connections due to fiber cuts by road operators.
Telecom operators have been lobbying for a regulation that would compel contractors to create ducts for ICT infrastructure to avoid cable cuts during road repairs.
