The Kenya Information and Communications (Amendment) Bill was introduced with the objective of persuading Safaricom , Airtel and Telkom Kenya to split their telecommunications business from the mobile money transfer and lending units. The bill sponsored by Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo targets to address concerns that Safaricom has become too big through its dominant market share in voice, mobile data, and mobile money. Safaricom controls about 65 percent market share in voice. Its mobile money business has a virtual monopoly. Earlier attempts to force Safaricom to be split also have failed.
