[kictanet] Day 3 of 6 (Wednesday) :-Innovators, Innovations & Suppliers

[Mildred Achoch]

Good morning everyone,

Thank you to the KICTANET moderators and Safaricom for this opportunity to
engage.

First, I would like to echo Grace B's sentiments. Thank you Safaricom for
being in almost every part of Kenya. It goes a long way in assuring me that
you guys will be around for a long time. Secondly, kudos for being one of
the first companies in Kenya to embrace the Sustainable Development Goals,
specifically SDG 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure) and SDG 17
(Partnerships for the goals)

Regarding the fact that you are in almost every part of Kenya, my question
is: is there a way you can partner with Kenyan filmmakers to promote Kenyan
films and series/web series? Especially the work of independent and
upcoming filmmakers who usually don't have the connections or resources to
plug into the existing broadcasting/screening channels. I applaud
innovative initiatives such as Skiza tunes and Blaze. These say to me that
similar initiatives can be implemented to promote Kenyan filmmakers. Media
convergence is already here with us; as a market leader, Safaricom should
be at the forefront of innovative initiatives related to this.

Regards,
Mildred Achoch.
