[kictanet] Safaricom network breakdown

[Collins Areba]

I refuse to believe that Safaricom, carrier of a single digit fraction of
our economy, transmitter of messages sensitive and life saving, exchanger
of news good and bad, and payer ot taxes like no other, could have grown to
where it is with a design flaw such as a single point of failure.

This is not possible, and until / unless Safaricom comes out and explains
the sequence of events that would trigger a Nationalwide blackout, they
remain suspects. Co conspirators in what the public perceives as an early
plan to do some mischief come August.

The burden of proof this time around lies squarely at the doorstep of Bob &
team.
