Kenya aims for own internet cable

Kenya has said it will seek funding to finance its own undersea internet cable after an African joint venture was delayed by disagreements.

The fibre optic cable, expected to cost $110m, would run from Mombasa to Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman.

The president’s office said the cable would also serve other countries in East Africa and the Horn of Africa.

Officials said Kenya was keen to market itself as a centre for business outsourcing, as India has done.
