The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) was on Wednesday put on the spot to explain the longstanding debt it is owed by Telkom Kenya, in addition to providing its shareholding status.

CA Director General David Mugonyi, who appeared before the Public Investment Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture (PIC-SSAA), explained that Telkom Kenya’s earlier assertion of a nil outstanding balance in a letter dated December 21, 2020, requesting a compliance certificate was based on the National Treasury commitment of June 29, the same year.
