You got jokes, does safaricom compete with Airtel or Microsoft? IBM? Western Union? Money gram? The market that Safaricom operates on is not just voice and sms, but cloud computing, money servises, Big data etc etc. It would be very stupid for the govt to declare a company that seeks growth as dominant to favor a company that has REFUSED to invest and innovate, but just play the market variables and dynamics.

It would be a welcome move if Mwangi intends to buy Airtel KE but he should invest and infrastructure and creativity to grow it Safaricom is still a very small company in the technology space

It is not that the KES is strengthening but rather that the dollar is retracing its earlier gains.

For the cbk, the trick is to strike a balance between defending the KES and maintaining life support for banks. Success or failure in either will determine how the rest of the year unfolds. Notice how the interbank rate currently @9.22% has recently strongly correlated to performance of the KES. Cbk can't have its cake and eat it at the same time.
