🎙️ #Alitalkstech – Tech Policy in Motion with Martin Mirero 💡⚙️
In this insightful episode recorded live at the Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KeIGF) during Africa Tech Policy Week, we sit down with Martin Mirero, Director of ICT at the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) — one of the continent’s most influential tech regulators.
From the engine room of Kenya’s digital oversight, Martin offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at:
How the CA is modernizing systems like licensing, frequency management, and consumer protection 🛠️
The concept of responsive regulation and why regulators must listen more and react faster 🎯
What it takes to build a regulatory sandbox that encourages innovation without compromising oversight 🧪
Lessons from his unique journey through startups, corporates, and public service — and how it’s shaping his leadership today 🌍
Martin also tackles the critical but often overlooked role of institutional machinery and how government bureaucracy, when well-tuned, can power real change — not stall it.
Whether you're an innovator, policymaker, or curious observer of Africa’s digital transformation, this episode delivers sharp insights, humble reflections, and a compelling vision for the future of tech regulation.
🎧 Tune in to hear why Kenya is setting the pace on the continent — and what’s next for digital governance.
