About us

Who We Are

The Secretariat was established in 1999 when the telecommunications and postal sector underwent liberalization. Before then, the ICT sector was under the defunct Kenya Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (KPTC), which was responsible for regulation and operations of all the activities of the sector. The liberalization of the sector brought dissolution of KPTC and formation of the following institutions:

• Communications Commission of Kenya (now Communications Authority of Kenya) as the regulatory body for the sector
• Telkom Kenya as the national telecommunication operator
• Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK) as the national public postal operator
