Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta arrived in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa Tuesday on an official visit that will include, among other bilateral issues, the formal award of a telecom operating licence to a consortium led by Safaricom.
The award of the licence will also involve the formal signing of an agreement to allow Safaricom and its partners to start rolling out telecoms services, becoming the first foreign entity to provide such services in Ethiopia.
