guys;
There goes Robert Alai as usual. Anyway, that was my opinion. Unfortunately, in my shags, its Zain and Safaricom, and almost everyone is on Safaricom. Can Zain ask themselves why no subscribers? There are very few shops with Zain airtime, if any. Now they should address that.

You have lots of facts wrong and you know that you cant face the truth on that. I have replied in BOLD!!!
Safaricom started out as a department at Telkom, naturally when you have your baby, you nurture and grow it until its grown and can not only dress and shower, but can go to school, get an education and look for a good job.
Safaricom never started and has never been a depertment of Safaricom. Safaricom has been a companyof its own only that it was one time a sister company of Telkom Kenya because the Kenyan government owned shares in Safaricom through Telkom Kenya. So Safaricom being a department of Telkom Kenya is just so so wrong.
Safaricom should not be blamed for the ills facing the telecommunications sector, Orange and other smaller players were piggy riding on the false promise that government will "cut safaricom to size" in order for them to turn a profit. Telkom has existed for so many years I fail to count, yet Orange keeps making noise. Why cant they leverage on the Telkom brand as Safaricom did and grow?
