Ministry begins public trials of 3-kg compressed natural gas cylinders

The Ministry of Information, Communications, and the Digital Economy, under Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo, has opened a three-day virtual validation process for Kenyans and other stakeholders to provide feedback on proposed changes to communications regulations. This exercise follows a Regulatory Impact Assessment of the revised Kenya Information and Communications regulations, which underwent extensive stakeholder engagement and public participation.

The draft regulations, along with a Regulatory Impact Statement, are available for public review. The virtual validation sessions, conducted by the ministry in collaboration with the Communications Authority of Kenya, will occur from September 15 to September 17, 2026. Each session will focus on specific aspects of the proposed regulations, such as licensing, broadcasting, consumer protection, tariffs, infrastructure sharing, and domain name administration.

The ministry encourages all stakeholders and members of the public to review the documents and participate in the virtual sessions. Views submitted during earlier consultation processes have been incorporated into the draft regulations. The goal is to ensure transparency, stakeholder engagement, and inclusivity in shaping Kenya's ICT sector and digital economy.
