By Eunice WAWUDA

 

The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has been honoured at the 2025 Champions of Governance (CoG) Awards organized by the Institute of Certified Secretaries (ICS) Kenya, in recognition of the Authority’s outstanding commitment to good governance, ethical leadership and institutional accountability.

The Champions of Governance Awards recognize institutions and individuals who demonstrate
outstanding corporate governance practices, ethical leadership, and adherence to regulatory and
accountability standards in Kenya.

An Avalanche of Awards

At the awards, CA took home the Champion of Governance Award 2025 and the State
Corporations Award 2025.

 

In recognition of the staff CA’s Director General Mr. David Mugonyi, EBS was recognized at the awards with the COG CEO of the Year Award 2025, while CS Lydia Sitienei, Director Legal Services and Corporation Secretary, was recognized with the Corporate Secretary of the Year Award 2025.

This recognition is a reflection of CA’s deliberate journey to entrench ethical leadership and
sound governance in all aspects of our operations. Indeed, the awards affirm CA’s sustained
efforts to uphold transparency and integrity in delivering on its mandate as Kenya’s ICT
regulator.

At a time when public trust in institutions matters more than ever, the Authority’s achievements
at the awards affirms its long-standing commitment to a governance culture that promotes
accountability, consumer protection, regulatory fairness, and responsible stewardship of the
digital ecosystem.

People and Integrity at the Centre

As we celebrate this achievement, we acknowledge that at the core of this recognition is CA’s
people. The teams who ensure every decision and action aligns with public interest, regulatory
integrity, and ethical practice.

 

This recognition therefore reflects the dedication of the Board, leadership, and staff in upholding the highest standards of professionalism. Their commitment has positioned the Authority as a trusted national institution and a continental benchmark in ICT regulation.

A Timely Honour as CA Marks 25 Years of Service

The awards could also not have come at a more meaningful moment.
As CA celebrates its 25th anniversary, this recognition underscores the remarkable transformation over the years.

Across the past quarter century, CA has built a strong governance culture anchored on transparency, strict adherence to regulatory frameworks, ethical conduct, and evidence-based decision-making.

These principles continue to guide the Authority in safeguarding consumer interests, fostering innovation, protecting the digital space, and ensuring equitable access to ICT services across the country
