Electronics wholesalers and telcos will be hit with new regulatory fees that the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) says are part of a broader plan to stem the influx of counterfeit devices.
The CA has proposed a Telecommunication Equipment Distributor (TED) licence, which will see wholesalers and telcos part with a one-off Sh250,000 for 15 years and annual operating fees calculated as 0.4 percent of their yearly turnover but not less than Sh120,000.
