Thu Feb 9 16:06:30 EAT 2017

We know Safaricom contributes to USF, but how is the same ploughed back to open up our underserved areas? Has Safaricom attempted to apply for the same funds to improve our poor infrastructure especially in peri urban and rural areas. Are we eligible? Kind regardsRacheal.

 I have seen Safaricom branded trenches in satellite towns such as Kiserian but we are yet to get broadband or services such as Safaricom  box.  Was the fibre exclusively for the security contract?

My query is in regards to the  quality of data and voice the quality heavily deteriorates just past major towns and cities. Is there a plan to  ensure better service delivery? Kind regards,
