Mpesa bank not interested. I prefer this outcome. Too much conditions make the deal unfavourable. I won't be surprised when Yu folds as bidders walk away - I don't expect member to buy it if Yu rivals walk away. CCK is too green here. They need a proper M&A section or firm to strike a clear deal. I repeat, Yu will fold and that will throw a sizable hammer towards Orange KE. Then the telco sector will stink due to toxic assets left by those two. The job losses won't be funny as well as defaults. Treasury and state hse need to watch this carefully...

There are some Nigerians who have USD 200M, whilst SafCom-Airtel deal is USD 100M. That is why!

These Nigerians, Mega-tech Engineering Limited, have no TeleCom background. So, it seems Ekwete may be behind the screen, controlling them. Its just a maybe.

@dunkang - how well are the naija bank subsidiaries in KE fairing? The telco sector bizarre loyalty is similar to EABL's tusker brand. Next, how well do the locals view the naija reputation? Good luck to the prospective naija camp. Tough market this one and I hope price wars will not be their strategy, it's become too boring.

I have a feeling, one of these days, the authorities will push for total separation between Safcom proper and mpesa bank on the argument of having Safcom offer telco services and let mpesa concentrate on financial services (think AT & T, Standard Oil, etc). I could be wrong though, but personally I'd favor such a scenario. I think it's needed in order to restore some vibrancy and innovation in our telco sector as well as level out competition.
