The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a UN agency for ICTs, has ranked Kenya as the top ICT regulator in Africa.
In a statement on Thursday, June 5, the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) revealed that the agency ranked Kenya as the leading horse in Africa and 20th globally out of 194 countries.
According to the authority, Kenya outshone other countries such as Nigeria and South Africa, which emerged second and third, respectively, and Malawi, Egypt, Rwanda, Morocco, Uganda, Burkina Faso, and Senegal, which were in the top 10 on the list.
The ranking was based on a country's national regulatory authority, breadth of the regulatory mandate, obtaining of a regulatory regime, and the robustness of the competition framework.
