....and this British citizen was interviewed by citizentv last night and he stated that the cost of data bundles was revised downwards since the onset of corona. How do you start your first TV interview with lies? Who does that?

19 days and 1 interview and Wazuans have already judged the fella. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore .

That was very unwise of him to tell such an obvious and verifiable lie on TV. If he was hell bent on telling a "lie" he should have said "we are considering lowering data charges". When all is said and done, the guy did not inspire confidence at all. Maybe he is telling such lies because his tenure started on 1st April.... a day earmarked for telling lies!

You can go ahead and sell your Safaricom shares iwache kuwasumbua hivi. I didn't watch the interview but I dont think the dude is in a position yet to talk about the operations of the company. He should have focussed on what he's to bring on the table. I also do not intend to watch the interview anyway "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

I see a lot of exitement on his appointment. Everybody willing to give this man a chance and wanting this man to succeed. What we are forgetting is that he is also a product of the handshake. Nobody in the opposition is willing to kupayuka their usual tribal diatribe on his appointment. A lot of things are happening even appointments and everyone seems to be okey. The prezzo is a genius. Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...

I don't like the bootlicking of government. He mentioned government as many times as he mentioned customers. He mentioned Kenyans too many times which makes him sound like a politician. He never once mentioned shareholders, the health of the business or the staff.... sorry he mentioned the staff in passing towards the end. I also noted that he is a short man and he also mentioned that he is humble, that is a contradiction in my humble opinion . This man is going to be heading the only company in Kenya that is making money while everyone else is making losses. He was of course brought there by government while that same government is broke. I hope he does well lakini kusema ukweli ako na kazi ngumu.

Vodacom definitely had a big say in his appointment and must have properly vetted him so at least everything is not in the hands of our incompetent government. I will judge him according to the performance of Safaricom over the next 3 years and above, not based on some TV interviews. Seems like some people here wanted the CEO to be some politician who knows exactly what to say to entertain them.

Posting the link of a shady website mostly run by an idle guy from a bedsitter in Zimmerman is lowering the stature of wazua and elevating the fake news website. Anyone who has worked in Kenya's corporate world knows this story can never be true. The moment you get into senior management, the first lesson you learn quickly is that your skills and intelligence count for nothing. The keyword is LOYALTY. Those who master it survive, those who don't are kicked out. At safaricom, Peter Arina was the running the show even before Bob collymore showed up. He was kicked out and replaced by his juniors. By now, everyone at safaricom senior management knows the guy's birthday, his wife and kids' names and their birthdays as well. They know if he drinks and his favourite wine/whisky and he must be getting overwhelmed by the gifts.

Why cant they even give a guy one year to work, these bloggers. They dont know failure of Safaricom is not Ndewga's failure but the economy at large. Bure!!!!!
