As the draft Dominance report undergoes internal review at CA, Jaindi Kisero continues to provide some snapshots.

"Telecoms operator Safaricom could be forced to hive off its popular mobile money service M-Pesa if sector regulator, the CA, moves to implement recommendations of a market dominance report.

Separating the highly profitable mobile money service from Safaricom’s core telecoms business – commonly referred to as functional separation - is the gist of a raft of recommendations that international consultants
- Analysys Mason - have made in a yet-to be published reportseen by the Business Daily."
