<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>August 24, 2010...</span></b><span

at a flat rate of Sh3 per minute. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>This follows the launch of a
new tariff plan for this category of subscribers by the country’s leading
telecoms operator. The rates will apply for both on and off-net calls and will
be applicable throughout.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Per second billing applies on

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Safaricom CEO Michael Joseph
said the tariff was a way of thanking the firm’s PostPay subscribers for their
loyalty and extending to them price concessions similar to what PrePay
customers were enjoying.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>“Our PostPay customers are a
huge reason for our success. We thank them for their custom and considerable
spending on our network. We promise to remain responsive to their needs and
promise them a number of incentives, going forward,” said Mr Joseph.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Earlier in the day, Safaricom
had announced a value-based PrePay tariff promotion whose main point was a Sh2

lowest level in the market currently.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
