English to Dholuo (Lwo): Safaricom Woes General field: Bus/Financial
Source text - English The regulator said in a notice, the review, coming after 10 years, will be conducted by comparing and contrasting the cost of voice calls in Kenya and similar economies. “On July 8, 2011, the authority issued Addendum No 2 to the Determination No 2 of 2010, revising the mobile and fixed termination rates, implying that implementation would run till June 30, 2015,” noted CA.
“Upon expiry of the glide path in 2015, the authority took a decision to observe the market and see how it reacts before proceeding to undertake another costing study.”
Mobile termination rates are a key cost component for pricing calls among service providers.
It determines the margins that operators can put on voice calls within and outside their networks.
In 2010, the CA cut mobile termination rates by more than 50 per cent, from Sh2.21 in July 2010 to Sh0.99 by July 2013.
The move kicked off a price war between Safaricom and Airtel that saw voice call costs fall from a high of Sh12 per minute to an average of Sh3 per minute.
“Owing to the passage of time, changes in the markets as well as the macroeconomic environment, the authority now wishes to carry out a review of the telecommunications interconnection rates bench-marking methodology,” stated CA.
The latest review comes even as service providers continue to record a slowed growth on voice compared to other revenue streams like data and mobile money.
According to Safaricom’s latest annual report, the telco registered Sh94.4 billion in voice revenue last year, a marginal drop from Sh95.7 billion in 2019 and Sh95.6 billion in 2018.

English to Dholuo (Lwo): President Uhuru addresses the Migingo problem. General field: Social Sciences
Source text - English On various occasions, the latest being July 21, 2021, President Uhuru Kenyatta has vowed that Kenya will not cede even an inch of its territory to anyone.
The president, who was addressing security personnel training in Boni Forest, Lamu County, was most likely referring to the Kenya-Somalia maritime dispute.
Sadly, the determination to protect our territory seems to be taken with the seriousness its deserves only in the case of Somalia.
Kenya and Uganda have been wrangling for years over their common boundary in Lake Victoria, including the location of islands such as Migingo and Mageta.
And although these islands have for decades been inhabited by Kenyans, Uganda seems to have the upper hand on them.
It is common for Ugandan security officers to raid the islands and the waters around them and arrest Kenyan fishermen on flimsy grounds, only to set them free after they part with hefty bribes.
Some of the Kenyans are held for days in dingy cells on the Ugandan side.
In Mageta, Ugandan authorities reportedly force Kenyans to pay Sh8,000 per month for every fishing boat.
Yet, such gross mistreatment and exploitation of Kenyans doesn't seem to bother our government.
Granted, Kenya and Uganda are friendly nations. We cherish the friendship.
But friendship is only genuine where there is mutual respect.
That clearly is not the case here.
It's a shame for the government to do nothing while its citizens are abused and extorted.
Kenya must draw the line.
While we do not advocate for Kenya to take up arms against our neighbors, the government must demand that Ugandan officers keep off Kenyan fishermen.
It should also call for the resumption of the stalled Lake Victoria demarcation exercise.
Ugandans must not be allowed to turn Kenyans into punching bags.
