[kictanet] [isoc_ke] Should Safaricom be broken up as 'recommended' by Airtel?

[Barrack Otieno]

Goodmorning Ali,

In my humble opinion, even if Safaricom were to be broken up,it is
still a brand that resonates with the people and is in tune with the
Kenyan pulse (the spirit of Safaricom- in laymans terms), this is what
the competitors would have to break up, i am sure the strategists are
already thinking ahead and it will not be a walk in the park for the
competitors.

Best Regards
