“The Authority wishes to notify the general public that any legal or natural person, or group of individuals, who are desirous of making any representation and/or any objection to the said revocation of the licences as an aforementioned must to do so by a letter addressed to The DirectorGeneral, Communications Authority of Kenya, CA Centre,” said the notice.
