Telkom reportedly lost 1.6 million subscribers in one year, according to a report by tech publication Business Daily.
Telkom had 2.25 million active Kenyan subscribers in June 2023, a 39% drop from March 2022’s 4.14 million subscribers.
The Communications Authority of Kenya earlier began switching off inactive and irregularly registered SIM cards in the country.
Other Kenyan telecoms were also affected by the deregistration exercise with Safaricom and Airtel—who lead Kenya’s telecoms market—reporting slow growth since last year.
