Thanks for that comment. <br><br>I, for one, would be happy if all those shouting-about-abuse telco users would stop aspiring to maim or kill me in traffic, just as I'd appreciate it if we could get public transport to stop trying to maim and kill me in traffic. Excellence all around - or perhaps just respect for minimum rules and courtesy for starters. <br>
<br>(and note: it goes without saying that if your funds are deducted, you should get the equivalent services or a refund. I'm not disputing that for a second). <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 26 August 2010 13:19, lordmwesh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lordmwesh@gmail.com">lordmwesh@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br>Hi Brian,<br><br>I beg to disagree with your supposition that these are "mundane and rather trivial issues". Safaricom does not sell vegetables at Gikomba, nor Mandazi at Kibera. This is their core business and if anything goes wrong with these, as one Harry Truman, put it decades ago, the buck stops with one, Michael Joseph!<br>
<br>PS: MJ - Thank you so much for taking up this issue.<br></div></div>
<div>
<div></div>
<div><br clear="all"></div></div></blockquote></div>
<div><br>Both you and I have run online service operations - these kind of issues do *not* need the CEO to spend his time on - unless things have deteriorated to abyssmal levels.<br><br>Nevertheless his attention is much appreciated.<br>
<br></div></div></blockquote>
<div><br>I am happy to report that after MJ's intervention, Safaricom has <b>"indemnified"</b> me on the case(s) that I complained about. To be precise, I got refunds for the amounts used "out-of-bundle" when their systems delayed in allocating me the bundles I had purchased.<br>
<br>I'd also like to publicly acknowledge their apologies, received from Muthoni Karimi and Jack Siperia.<br>�<br>I feel much better now, as a Safaricom customer, because I have been treated right, thanks to MJ.<br></div>
