PS Isaboke Highlights Kenya's Digital Future at Africa Broadband Mapping Systems Event

The Principal Secretary for Broadcasting and Telecommunications, Steve Isaboke EBS was the Chief Guest at the Africa Broadband Mapping Systems in Kenya event earlier today.

Hosted by the Communications Authority in collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the European Commission, the event brought in ICT and Telecommunication industry players to discuss and shape the future of broadband connectivity.

“As a regional leader in ICTs, Kenya has firmly positioned itself on the path toward a digital future, with ambitions on broadband penetration by 2030, prioritising the unserved and underserved communities that have historically been left behind in digital connectivity,” noted the PS.

The Africa-BB-Maps project is its holistic and inclusive design which integrates broadband data with related sectors such as energy, transport, health, education and urban planning.

Also present at the event were H.E Henriette Geiger, the Ambassador, European Union Delegation to Kenya; Mr David Mugonyi, the Director General of the Communications Authority of Kenya; and Dr Cosmas Zavazava, the Director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau, who joined virtually.
