Residents of Moyale Constituency are set to enjoy improved communication services after the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) approved the long-awaited Golole telecommunication network booster project.
The project, which will soon be tendered, is expected to bridge long-standing connectivity gaps in the constituency, where many remote areas still struggle with poor or non-existent network coverage.
Currently, residents in several parts of Moyale, particularly in Golole and its surrounding villages, often rely on unstable signals, forcing them to travel long distances to access reliable mobile and internet services.
This has hindered access to education, healthcare, and essential business services.
Moyale MP Professor Guyo Jaldesa, who confirmed the development after a meeting with CA officials, described the approval as a major milestone for digital inclusion in the region.
“Today, we had a productive engagement at the Communications Authority of Kenya, where we met with Mr. Paul Kiage, the Deputy Director in charge of the Universal Service Fund (USF).”
“I am pleased to announce that the long-awaited Golole telecommunication network booster will be tendered very soon, a major step forward in addressing network connectivity gaps in our constituency,” said Prof. Jaldesa.
He added that the initiative reflects his continued efforts to ensure every corner of Moyale, no matter how remote, has access to reliable network services.
“The Golole booster is a major step forward in ensuring every corner of Moyale has access to reliable network services. This will unlock opportunities in education, healthcare, and economic activities.”
“I wish to thank the Communications Authority for their commitment to digital inclusion and look forward to seeing this project transform lives,” he said.
Alongside the Golole booster project, Prof. Jaldesa revealed that the electrification of Bori is already underway, a move that will further enhance development in the area.
Plans are also in place to fast-track the installation of a telecommunication booster in Bori to improve connectivity.
Residents, who have long grappled with poor signal reception, which has slowed access to government services has welcomed the announcement, disrupted emergency communication, and limited economic opportunities.
The Golole booster project is part of broader government efforts to bridge the digital divide in arid and semi-arid regions, ensuring that no community is left behind in Kenya’s journey toward universal network coverage.
