Safaricom have invested nothing in Kenya. Mpesa runs on our shops, our own float, our own money.
The hundreds of thousands of mpesa shops bringing in billions of shillings in revenue and profits to safaricom have no single coin invested into them by safaricom.
Remove safaricom and Mobile money from kenya and life will continue as Normal.
Remove mikokoteni from Nairobi and commercial activities in the city will collapse within a few days.
Most of the money that safari-con generates goes to wazungu overseas. However, it can’t fail to be noted that many people are employed by mpesa as agents while others sell calling cards for a living. With a few working for the multinational as direct employees.
Our shareholding structure changed during the year and is currently comprised of the Government of Kenya (35 per cent), Vodacom (35 per cent), Vodafone (5 per cent) and free float (25 per cent).
Personally I have no complaints because it satisfies a need
Until ile siku safaricom itakua imeingia hadi bedroom ya economy yetu, we start saying…“safaricom is too important for kenya to be let to collapse, we must injest taxpayers money otherwise its failure will have negative effects on our economy…” 20 years from today safaricom itakuwa mwiba kwa maisha yetu kama wakenya
