[kictanet] Safaricom's Super Profits

[Barrack Otieno]

Edith,

I think its about their Business Model, its value driven and Solution
oriented hence the Super profits. That said my only concern would be
quality of service, i listened to Bob Collymore on NTV last night and he
alluded to quality issues over and above that i really have no qualms with
he Super Profits.

Best Regards
