Wash,
Another thing I think is apart from the using the electricity on their basestations, salaries, taxes & etcetc...the call is essentially a free call since it stays in their "PABX" sufcon to sufcon calls only.

I am curious as to how else Safaricom manage the risk of their Okoa Jahazi service apart from the users having been on the networks say for certain time X having spent an average of amount T per month.

My take...

Look at it this way:
Is it possible that

SCENARIO 1: A new customer on their network can buy a new SIM card (KES 50?), activate it (KES 50 or how much is it?), Okoa Jahazi with it then throw it away? Not quite practical.

SCENARIO 2: An existing user on their network can Okoa Jahazi, then throw away their SIM card to go and buy a new SIM card in order to evade paying the KES 50? No.

So I am almost inclined to think that the only time they may lose is when one Okoa's Jahazi then dies! Now that is not quite frequent!
