Delay in establishing network in border areas of Turkana County and nationwide

16 Apr 2025 Asked by James Lomenen Ekomwa Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication and Digital Economy Oral Pending

Question

Could the Cabinet Secretary explain to this Senate why there has been a delay in establishing network in the border areas of Turkana County and even in the nation at large? For example, there is poor network in the border of Kibish and Ethiopia, Nadapal; the border between Southern Sudan and Kenya; Lokichogio, Lokiriama and Urum, the border of Uganda and Kenya. The delay in establishment of a network in those border areas has really made it cumbersome for security forces to act when a problem or incident occurs. It has become difficult for them to assist the citizens in that place. When will the Ministry establish a border network so as to assure the citizens that security services will be available any time?
