Mostly. Good on Airtel, Safaricom and Telkom; not usable on Faiba. The reasons are on each card.

4G bands in Kenya · colour = frequency

None of the missing bands is a main band here, so they do not limit the verdict.

below 1 GHz (coverage) 1–2.7 GHz 3–7 GHz mmWave · dashed = the JACS TD191-B lacks it · • = a main band

Why limited

Faiba · Faiba uses B28; the JACS TD191-B supports none of them.
