The sector now contributes an estimated 8.4% to the GDP and, with well guided policies, the sector is estimated to attain the Vision 2030 target of contributing 10% to the country’s GDP by 2017. As the chairman of the Board it gives me great pleasure to take this opportunity to update you on the performance, the competitive and regulatory environment and economic factors affecting our business. In the period under review, we continued with the execution of our strategy which enabled us to continue to deliver unmatched customer experience which in turn led to strong results and sustainable shareholder returns. Kenya’s economy remained fairly stable growing at 5.3%, a slight reduction compared to 5.7% in 2013. The performance was supported by a reduction in energy prices and increased government spending on major projects by both the national and the devolved Governments. The ICT sector realised a growth of 13.4% in 2014. The sector now contributes an estimated 8.4% to the GDP and, with well guided policies, the sector is estimated to attain the Vision 2030 target of contributing 10% to the country’s GDP by 2017. There is no doubt that a signifcant part of this growth is attributable to the mobile telecommunications sector where Safaricom and other players continue to contribute substantial gains to the economy. In the year, interest rates remained stable with the Central Bank of Kenya maintaining the Central Bank Rate (CBR) at 8.5% and a modest increase in infation by 1.2 ppt to 6.9%. On the foreign currency exchange market, the Kenya shilling weakened against the dollar, a factor attributable to the declines in dollar infows mainly from the tourism sector. The Board recommended a dividend of 64 cents per share, totalling Kshs 25.64 billion, an increase of 36%. This is once again the largest dividend in Kenyan history. Our superior capabilities continue to enable us to support our key stakeholders in their endeavour to improve the lives of our customers and the people of Kenya as a whole.

MR. NICHOLAS NGANGA CHAIRMAN 9 TAARIFA YA 01 / HIGHLIGHTS MWENYEKITI Sekta ya Teknolojia ya Habari na Mawasiliano, yaani ICT, ilishuhudia ukuaji wa 13.4% katika mwaka wa 2014. Hivi sasa Sekta hii inachangia 8.4% kwenye Jumla ya Pato la Taifa (GDP), na kukiwa na sera zilizo na mwongozo mzuri, sekta hii inatarajiwa kutimiza malengo ya Ruwaza ya 2030 ya kuweza kuchangia 10% kwenye Jumla ya Pato la Taifa (GDP) kufkia 2017. Kama Mwenyekiti wa Bodi ya Wakurugenzi, nina furaha kubwa kuchukua fursa hii kuwaarifu kuhusu matokeo, hali ya ushindani wa kibiashara na kanuni za udhibiti pamoja na hali ya kiuchumi inayoathiri biashara yetu. Katika kipindi cha mwaka tunaochambua, tuliendelea kutekeleza mkakati wetu ambao ulituwezesha kuendelea kutoa huduma toshelevu za kipekee kwa wateja, jambo ambalo lilichangia upatikanaji huu wa matokeo bora na faida kwa wamilikihisa. Uchumi wa Kenya ulibakia imara na kukua kwa 5.3% katika mwaka wa 2014, ingawa ulishuka kidogo inapolinganishwa na 5.7% mwaka wa 2013. Matokeo haya yalisaidiwa na kupungua kwa gharama ya kawi na kuongezeka kwa matumizi ya serikali katika miradi mikubwa pamoja na miradi mingine iliyotekelezwa na serikali za ugatuzi.
