Kenya's Safaricom has said that it is increasing its capital expenditure this year by 8 percent to cope with rising demand for mobile internet services.
Capital investment during the financial year to next March will rise to Sh27 billion (US$309 million) from an original plan of Sh25 billion.
"We have to continue investing in infrastructure," Bob Collymore, chief executive officer of the mobile-phone company.
Safaricom said last month it had begun laying 6,000 kilometers of fiber-optic cable to boost its internet capacity and provide services direct to consumers.
