[kictanet] Risks to Safaricom outstrip mere business - we should be concerned

[Grace Githaiga]

Last week Safaricom, the largest mobile service provider in East and
Central Africa, suffered a serious disruption to its services.











Myguessabout how Safaricom’s exclusive success story might present a
huge risk to the Kenyan economy came to pass.











No doubt Safaricom, the mother of the legendary mobile money service
M-Pesa, has brought accolades to Kenya, both here and abroad and we
hope it continues to do so.
