Descriptive analysis of government policy from Likert scale data
| Government of Kenya has implemented policy on fibre-optic infrastructure | 8.1 | 15.1 | 27.9 | 31.4 | 17.4 | 3.348 | 1.172 |
| The government implements a dig once policy in conjunction with laying new roads and widening some | 16.3 | 19.8 | 30.2 | 27.9 | 5.8 | 2.872 | 1.162 |
| There is a uniform right of way policy for fibre-optic and other infrastructures | 11.6 | 26.7 | 26.7 | 24.4 | 10.5 | 2.953 | 1.183 |
| Significant delays in execution of fibre-optic infrastructure as a result of delays in obtaining permits | 2.3 | 5.8 | 12.8 | 24.4 | 54.7 | 4.232 | 1.033 |
| Lack of coordination among multiple authorities in issuance of permits is a reason for significant delays | 2.3 | 5.8 | 12.8 | 24.4 | 54.7 | 4.232 | 1.033 |
| Introduction of utility corridors will prevent repeated digging which interfere with other underground infrastructure | 2.3 | 1.2 | 7.0 | 30.2 | 59.3 | 4.430 | 0.858 |
| Regulations by the government on fibre-optic infrastructure are not fair and should be revised | 5.8 | 4.7 | 36.0 | 22.1 | 31.4 | 3.686 | 1.136 |
| More regulations should be put in place to check on how fibre-optic infrastructure is implemented | 1.2 | 4.7 | 7.0 | 38.4 | 48.8 | 4.290 | 0.876 |
| Global standards are adopted and customised in implementation of fibre-optic infrastructure | 3.5 | 15.1 | 25.6 | 30.2 | 25.6 | 3.593 | 1.127 |
| Building code should be revised to allow for fibre-optic services in new buildings | 0.0 | 3.5 | 4.7 | 29.1 | 62.8 | 4.511 | 0.745 |
