Nimesema kitu!

I seriously feel that LOTS OF NOISE need to be made on this. I personally
keep my safaricom line ONLY cause of MPESA. Cost of maintaining a safcom
line doesn't make financial sense; taking into account how the airtime and
bundles magically disappear like KAJIWE placed a curse on it! AGAIN I feel
safcom simply doesn't care about it's customers... is it cause it is the
biggest telco? They need to remember it is the customers who put them in
that position!

*FUMING!*
