Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Safaricom Ltd., Kenya’s biggest mobile-phone operator, said its increasing call tariffs amid a weakening currency and rising inflation in East Africa’s biggest economy. The only component of CPI that held steady this month...watch inflation go! Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

I'm not sure what you guys on Safcom pay, but I'm assuming this is between 30% to 100% increase on rates. Imagine what inflation will come in at next month... Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

What commodity or service has had its pricing on a reducing trend consistently for the last ten years? Other than airtime? The reasons given sound credible .... "Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Safaricom Ltd., Kenya’s biggest mobile-phone operator, said its increasing call tariffs amid a weakening currency and rising inflation in East Africa’s biggest economy." The laudable is more often than not rendered laughable by overclaim

No one will leave safaricom because of M-PESA and you will soon see Orange and Airtel increasing their tariffs.

They have no option but to follow suit unless they have no plan on roll-out, etc etc............ all equipment, managed service contracts etc are paid for in dollars and transferred to you and me in kshs.

Its now cheaper to call safaricom using other networks than using a safaricom line...lets hope the other networks will hike theirs bcoz if they dont this is disaster in the making.

And that will not stop the slide in share price. I think 2/70 is a fair price. The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.
