Data, voice and IP company, Liquid Telecom has announced that is has completed 4,200 kilometres of fibre infrastructure connecting 39 out of 47 counties in Kenya.

The company said that businesses such as banks drove the demand for fibre in other territories around the country. Banking institutions rely on connectivity for their day to day activities. Government parastatals and county bodies are also active in the counties and need internet connection.

Liquid says it has connected 25 parastatals in Kenya and supports 80 percent of Kenyan banks.

The growing rural banking network has contributed to the uptake of banking services, which has grown from 13.5 percent in 2006 to 29.2 percent in 2013, according to the FinAccess National Survey, the company says.

"We believe that everyone has the right to be connected and so investing in the build out of infrastructure to the counties will help us in our goal to connect every person and business in Africa. Internet offers unprecedented opportunities for economic growth in developing countries. By providing access to information, connecting people to businesses everywhere, and opening up new markets, the Internet can transform the very nature of an economy and support economic development," Ben Roberts CEO of Liquid Telecom Kenya said.

"For our clients, the main concern is a stable Internet connection that enables them provide swift services to the public through accessing information on the national database, allowing regional staff to process requests and make real time updates, and a fibre network is more reliable in these instances," Roberts added.

Liquid said that online processing has saved the National Health Insurance Fund cut down its administrative costs to 32 percent from 60 percent. Other county institutions are set to benefit from such efficiency that connectivity holds.
