No wonder safcom has been having all sorts of data problems (sms,network) of late..
@QW, please don't sensationalize this issue. KDN has no operational problems that I know of.
As far as I'm aware, KDN contracted Soliton to lay a redundant cable to Mombasa through Garissa at an agreed fee. When KDN refused to pay (after its takeover by Alltech - South Africans) Soliton accepted a staggered repayment plan for the circa 400 metre balance. KDN has reneged on this and Soliton just wants its cash.
I suspect the South Africans probably never carried out proper due diligence (I know what @vvs will say about the seller) when buying into KDN.
The owner of Soliton is bosom buddies with Ahmednasir so the latter will squeeze every ounce for his pal.
