Kenya regulations and restrictions
Like many other countries, Kenya operates according to an opt-in policy, and you must be able to demonstrate that your users have chosen to receive messages from you. There are also various regulations in place regarding content type, which you can see in the table below. Visit the Communications Authority of Kenya online for more information.
