The Kenyan government has completed only 37 percent of its planned 100,000km fibre optic network with months remaining to the 2027 deadline, exposing a significant delivery gap in President Ruto's Digital Superhighway programme aimed at expanding nationwide broadband connectivity.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The government fibre rollout pace just created an opening for private fibre providers to capture underserved public institutions and counties. You need to move fast or your chance to serve this national digital backbone will vanish.
