The newly formed company will focus on providing and installing Starlink services across Kenya, bringing advanced connectivity solutions to underserved areas.

This move follows Paratus’ designation as an authorized reseller of Starlink’s low earth orbit (LEO) satellite services across Africa, a milestone achieved last year.

Paratus Kenya’s establishment comes shortly after the company launched operations in Eswatini, signaling its growing footprint on the continent.

MoveOn Telecoms Limited, licensed by the Communications Authority of Kenya since 2015, brings extensive experience in telecom solutions.

The partnership aims to leverage MoveOn’s expertise and Paratus’ network capabilities to deliver stable and reliable internet connectivity, critical for economic growth and digital transformation in Kenya.

Joseph Kibwott, Managing Director of Paratus Kenya, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, highlighting its potential impact.

“Paratus Kenya is committed to driving economic development and GDP growth by creating jobs directly and indirectly. Stable and reliable internet connectivity plays a pivotal role in this mission, providing access to e-government services, remote work opportunities, real-time security solutions, and telemedicine. Enhanced connectivity in remote areas will empower Kenyans and foster growth in local economies,” he said.

Martin Cox, Chief Commercial Officer of Paratus Group, emphasized the strategic importance of the expansion.

“Opening in East Africa has been one of our primary objectives, and this marks a significant milestone. It’s a giant step forward in our mission to connect underserved African countries south of the equator. We are thrilled to partner with MoveOn and to bring Starlink services to Kenya.”
