What's happening at Wananchi?
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Whenever a company starts generating more press releases than product it's time to get worried. Seems to be the case at Wananchi (Sorry Riyaz, Ken et al) Apparently there's a top management shake-up which has seen several managers leave and Richard Bell is back (no comment). http://bit.ly/eigK5p Most worrying is Kui's article is a paragraph. "But the fibre project has now stalled, and Mr Bell said the firm has opened talks with a number of financiers to jump-start the project since a delay will allow its rivals to build market share at a time when the market has seen new entrants." I was sure these guys were swimming in money, Haiya -- [Asentric Consulting Ltd] "You don't build a business, you build people who build your business for you" - Brad Sugars
