From this trail you can almost spot the guilty plus the techie who does not want to go overboard and provide a secured platform; Of-course at server level some level of security is more often than not applied and that is why some sites remain up and running "you can be shocked at the number of hack attempts most web servers get*

Is it Safaricom's duty to ensure that the configuration of all websites (httpd.conf/nginx.conf/my.cnf/etc) hosted by them is secure?

Someone please tell me who needs to take the blame? Is it Safaricom or the techie cobbling up together the website?
