President William Ruto announces plans to review the building codes in the country.
Speaking during the launch of Connected Africa Summit 2024 at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi, Ruto pointed out that his administration has kickstarted the review process that will inform key construction decisions.
According to the Head of State, part of the review will require all new buildings to be fibre-ready.
This according to President Ruto will help deepen connectivity in the country and contribute to broader responsibility in the construction sector.
“We have commenced the process of reviewing our building codes to ensure all new buildings are fibre optic ready,” Ruto announced.
Ruto added that through the new building codes, Kenya will be able to implement the National Citizen Digital Skills Programme to bolster ICT inclusion in more parts of the country.
Schools, education facilities, hospitals, and business premises will majorly be targeted through the new building code.

However, President Ruto did not reveal when the new codes will be implemented in the country.
