@Karunyu,

I have been receiving an SMS a day for days, and especially in the wee hours (1am -3am) daily. Rather than whine, I just used an app to block the sender's number - 22070.

When my head got free, I called Safaricom Customer Care and was told who this PRSP is. Oh, and I was informed I am subscribed to 2 PRSPs. My shock!
My surprise is I have no dealings at all with these PRSPs and I've no intentions of. Plus I don't think I am the gullible type who can be deceived by Ads asking one to click & win (or 'like' and Win). I've been wondering how I got subscribed

So instead of cancelling the subscriptions, I am looking for a legal way of dealing with them..Yes, I know they take only like KES 2.00 daily, but because I did not subscribe, this is why I call them robbers.

@Odhiambo, did you receive an annoying SMS from some PRSP in the recent past?

In the last few hours, I came across a shiny blue button labelled "Send Outgoing SMSes", I couldn't resist clicking it, and before I could say a short curse word, 15k SMSes had been sent out!

The traffic jams seems a plausible reason, but there must be others, I think. How can there be too many guns being used to terrorize the ordinary man instead of being used most productively?:)

My second point though was that these PRSPs have become the small-time-robber-millionaires. No use of guns, just gadgets. You are unknowingly subscribed to some SMS service and they ensure you

(a) receive one daily - costs like 2.00 KES

(b) don't know how to unsubscribe on the face of it - until you call your provider.

Armed robbers could be executed on site or if  unlucky, be taken to court! PRSPs sadly are not easy to take to court, and neither do they make it obvious for you to execute them (stop the service). They'll not refund what they'll stolen from you even if they were 'caught'! m-Robbery.

PS: I don't remember a bank robber named Kimani Kihika. I only remember some firebrand MP named Kihika Kimani - was from Molo....

Hi, 

I have also been asking myself the same questions for a little while now. My reasoning comes to these two answers: 

1) Heavy traffic jams! After carrying out a heist, even the police do not need to chase after you. They can just follow your run-away car while walking very briskly and catch all of you with minimal effort, 

2) Members of the police force do not have too much patience with armed robbers as they used to.  Quite a number of years back in the 70s and 80s, the likes of John Kiriamiti and Kimami Kihika if I remember correctly, used to play cat-and-mouse games with the women and men in blue. Nowadays that is a no-no.

Martin.

Can anyone guess why there are no bank robberies anymore?

The robbers took up other professions:

1. Some joined G4S

2. The majority invested in being PRSPs.
