Communications of Authority of Kenya issued GUIDELINES ON THE USE OF
RADIOFREQUENCY SPECTRUM BY SHORT RANGE DEVICES on JUNE 2022 [1].
The section 5.8. covers frequency bands and technical parameters for
non-specific short range applications and wireless access systems.

 - 2400-2483.5 MHz: 2W e.i.r.p.
 - 5150-5350 MHz: 200mW; max e.i.r.p. density of 10mW/MHz
 - 5470-5725 MHz: 250mW; Max mean e.i.r.p. of 1W &
		  Max mean e.i.r.p. density of 50mW /MHz
 - 5725-5875 MHz: 23 dBm/MHz; Mean e.i.r.p. of 2W in any 10 MHz band
 - 5925-6425 MHz:
   * LPI: 23 dBm (200 mW)
	  Mean e.i.r.p. density for in-band emissions 10 dBm/MHz
	  Indoor only
   * VLP: 14 dBm (25 mW)
	  Mean e.i.r.p. density for in-band emissions 1 dBm/MHz
	  Indoor and outdoor use

This does not align with the range given in the reference.

> +       (5735 - 5775 @ 40), (23), DFS

This does not align with the range given in the reference.

Also, for the 5 GHz and 5.8 GHz ranges, TPC is required. If we reference
ETSI EN 301 893, TPC requires being able to reduce TX power by up to 6 dB.

Not sure if it makes sense to just lower the power limit by 6 dB to
conform though. If not then these bands are not usable.

Please use values and units as given in the reference.


Thanks
