The Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy has warned that a proposed amendment to the Energy Act could disrupt the rollout of national broadband and digital infrastructure.

 

Appearing before Senate Committee on Energy chaired by Dr. Oburu Oginga, the ministry was represented by Principal Secretary, Stephen Isaboke.
