From the Keyboard The launch of optic fiber internet was supposed to be a dawn on fast e-connectivity. But, keeping the procurement malpractice aside, and even the quality of fibers, this initiative is seemingly a hoax.
Ever since its launch, the fiber connection has received a multitude of interruptions, greatly affecting the end user.
This very morning, there was interrupted internet connectivity, affecting a lot of transactions. Some internet service providers like the Orange network, sent multiple texts to the clients informing them that “the Kenyan fiber optic link has been cut off affecting the internet experience”.
With such continuous interruptions, vis-à-vis the initial cost of the fiber project added onto the costs incurred during that period of interruptions calls into question the visibility of the whole project.
As more people and services get onto the e-transaction format, it might require either the overhaul of the project, or a new way of getting the service.
Or, let’s keep to the satellite service.
