Section 30 of the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Act No. 2 of 2000 stipulates that the person who has obtained the consent to connect on other person's network, system or equipment, may thereafter seek the approval of the Minister for the proposed interconnection. The Act has been repealed by the Communications Act 2023. Article 61 of the Act states that the request for an interconnection shall not be refused if it is reasonable in terms of the requesting party's requirements and the operator's capacity to meet it.
