Were they to join Airtel, it would be a perfect case study, to see whether staff thrive inspite of organisational culture or because of it.
Airtel, it seems to me, is like one place where you have to convince the top mgt that something can't work for it to be given a go-ahead.
They must have secured a very sweet package -and that usually comes with non-compete and non-disclosure clauses tacked on, at least for a few months. Makes it unlikely for Arina to head to Airtel; The second thing is the Indians will not cede a single inch of control, everything is densely stuffed and stacked with bureaucratese from the Indian Airtel HQ, complete with the usual Indian nepotism and cronyism, he would be suffocated, ineffective and all he would do is merely collect a huge salary for a couple of months - but yes, if the guy went there and got free reign Safaricom would have a lot to worry about.

Safaricom chief executive Bob Collymore is yet to get communication from the company’s board of directors regarding the renewal of his contract, which expires in four months’ time. Bob Collymore's contract ends in August, having been extended for two years in 2013. See full story hereBe ignorant and ask a few questions - Peter Drucker

If Arina & Warui were fired coz of (alleged) corruption why would Airtel hire them? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

www.businessdailyafrica....20/-/khi2qx/-/index.htmlQuote: While announcing the exits of Mr Arina and
effecting a reshuffle of its senior management
last week, Mr Collymore attributed the exits to
“an appreciation that we as a business have
become disconnected from our customers’
needs at various levels.” Everybody STEALS, a THIEF is one who's CAUGHT stealing something of LITTLE VALUE. !!!

They were not forcefully retired. They resigned. Apparently its something to do with the loss of data bundles. Customers have been experiencing a disappearance of data bundles from their lines.

The momentum of this mbus highlights the importance of buying a company that is backed by solid fundamentals, not hot air. ,

I honestly believe he is corrupt and/or unethical.. Even the FPE laptop project was cancelled after underhand revelations. The security cameras project is implemented but still the nephew to a sitting president gets jacked and the vehicle cannot be spotted on even one of the cameras since Sunday???
