Kenyan telecommunication companies have been given the green light by the Information, Communication and Technology ministry to negotiate lower roaming charges for their customers across the East African region.

This is a culmination of discussions held between Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda to cap the minimum roaming charges in the three states to boost integration of the EAC trade bloc.
