The ICT sub-sector has experienced tremendous growth in the recent past. Mobile telephony coverage grew significantly from 51 % in 2009 (Kenya National Bureau of Statistics Census, 2009) to more than 70% as at 2017 following the expansion of the mobile network in the county by service providers including Safaricom, Orange and Airtel. Households with radio and television sets stand at 72.63 % and 23 % respectively. Currently, the county has one Huduma Centre at Iten headquarters, and plans are underway to establish three other centres at the remaining three sub-county headquarters. Mailing services in the county are done by Kenya Postal Corporation with 20 post office branches, Group 4 Securities (G4S), Direct Handling Limited (DHL), and Wells Fargo Ltd among others.
