[kictanet] Yu acquisition proposal to regulator

[Odhiambo Washington]

I prophesy: After this purchase of *Yu*, we're gonna have Safaricom buying
Airtel, while Orange will naturally collapse somehow, unless it's sold to
another entity, and it does proper stuff restructuring. Then? No Triopoly.
Just a monopoly. This prediction is not too far into the future, not even
vision 2030.
