1. Safaricom will never respond.
2. The government will never respond.
3. All your metadata are belong to U.S.

That's quite a defeatist and pessimistic attitude.  If a large number of users(1) or citizens(2) demand a response they will have no reason but to do so, even if the response is perfunctory.  In Safaricom's case it's even easier because a boycott will seriously hurt them where it matter (their bank account).

This is the case, where in Kenya, we should be upset with Safaricom (who is, I’m assuming, the corporate partner), and the KE gov’t for selling us all out.

It's a little premature, not to mention sensationalist, to start finger-pointing Safaricom or the government.  Given that (1) Safaricom runs a partial third-party-managed network (2) all the previous NSA programs have been carried out without host government consent and (3) both parties have not had the chance to respond it's prudent to reserve judgement until more facts and/or evidence is obtained.
