kerich, Its really simple, Get an E1 Which will take a maximum 30 extensions.you will need a local loop for the E1. It will have a safcom line,airtel, yu and telkom as you wish them. Rates apply for all the providers .you will find them at (http://www.izzytalk.co.ke/) If interested,let me know.

An E1 would be an overkill for my scenario. I require one or two pilot lines per branch and say 20-40 extensions. @Wash, The basic requirements are; 1. Setup telephony in the various branches mostly in the major towns of KE 2. Have one/two pilot lines (not Telkom CDMA or GSM) which can be called from anywhere. Seems my major challenge is the pilot lines since i would not want to take up E1 lines for my small requirement. Your suggestions are quite insightful let me look at the options. Rgds, Andrew.
