Good morning Listers 




Now, the question of Safaricom has been raised on this list many times including in the latest Airtel exiting Africa debate. 




We have been speaking with Steve Chege, the ‎Director Corporate Affairs at Safaricom on the need to provide information/ answers to some of the issues that have been raised, and in particular those that are raised over and over again. He is agreeable and positive on the need to provide information so that we stop speculating or sometimes draw conclusions which may not necessarily be correct. 




KICTANet will this year endeavor to engage with your operators and we are glad to announce that Safaricom has agreed to take this up. Steve, together with his team will field your questions. We also hope to hold a cocktail at a date to be announced later, where Safaricom will further respond to questions that you will deem not answered. 




This is the plan: 

Walu will moderate the debate for five days starting Monday next week February 6, 2017. 




Accordingly, he will provide us with the program tomorrow. Once the debate is over, he will hand over to Steve and team, who will in turn provide comprehensive answers. 




Listers, this is your opportunity to engage with your service provider in an honest manner. Let us remember how we engage. We focus on issues! #Talk to Safaricom ! 




Looking forward to a stimulating debate. Over to you Walu. 
Best regards 


Githaiga, Grace
