Nothing new here and will always be this way world over until mankind stops the corporate machine... Remember EABL too has floored Mututho... $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

It limits his powers and gives him more time to catch some sleep at Statehouse. The decision doesn't stand up to any logical scrutiny. The Governor of Nyeri - 2017

We need safaricom stocks to be KES1.50 by Dec. 2011 ndio tununue mingi na safely! WRONG TIMING MR. GENERAL KIGUOYA (kioga!)!!!!! Kama ulinunua hizo shares, wewe utaumia pole pole pekee yako! This is his best declaration ever my reasons below Airtel is not going to benefit Kenyans they have flooded their offices with Indians and outsourced almost all their services to Indian companies. Further reduction in call costs means reduction in taxes so KRA will probably increase our taxes na hawa expatriates will be laughing all the way to the bank so kudos to Kibaki

Return On Investment, rollout to new areas, taxes, wanjiku etc. And its also good for Kenya in the long term. The rates will fall; but not yet as only a small fraction of the countrys geographical mass is actually covered. The laudable is more often than not rendered laughable by overclaim

The consumer is meant to selfishly think about their needs, and steer businesses to satisfy their demands. 3Bob, 1bob bado ni mob. Paying data per MB or per minute bado ni mob SANA. Safcom are still making obscene profits, there is still a lot of room for them to maneuver. It should be up to the consumer to dictate how things go, not the president! Is this even legal?!

No one complained (apart from VVS) when oil companies were not allowed freedom in setting their prices, heck Kenyans even cheered. So he reasoned, why not interfere in the mobile industry?
