Airtel Kenya has announced an increase its headline voice tariff to Ksh2 plus taxes which will equate to Ksh2.78 per minute.
In a statement, Airtel managing director Prasanta Das Sarma said the move was as a result of government’s amendment to the Finance Bill.
The amendment saw the excise duty on telephone and internet services revised from 15 percent to 20 percent, effective July 1, 2021.
“Airtel Kenya has ensured that prices of all data and voice bundles remain unchanged. Hence, there will be no changes to the Amazing, Unliminet and Tubonge bundles,” said Prasanta Das Sarma.
