Bayobab Kenya has announced the completion of a multi-million shilling fiber network project connecting Mombasa to Malaba and Busia.
The subsidiary of Bayobab Group and the digital infrastructure arm of MTN Group said it seeks to improve connectivity across Kenya and neighboring countries.
The new fiber network line spans over 1,000 kilometers along the Kenya Railway’s meter gauge railway line, extending from the coastal city of Mombasa to the border towns of Malaba and Busia.
The network continues into Uganda through Rwanda, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
According to Bayobab Kenya Managing Director Sylvia Anampiu, the initiative is expected to revolutionize regional connectivity, significantly boosting the region's reliability and internet service delivery.
