Change can come through the purchasing power as safaricon, Bidco and Brookside is about to learn. Stampede on airtel stalls and rejected Bidco and Brookside products on store shelves is a clear indication boycott is working in democratic people republic.
This is the most meaningful civic education Kenyans have ever been engaged in a long time. Kenyans will learn that they are not at the mercy of politicians and that complaining about politicians and demonizing them without doing something does not work. Since the boycott started, I have seen People being more proactive and creative than I have not in a long time. Before the boycott, the only civic responsibility Kenyans were ever asked for is to register and vote every five years and nothing changed. Now Kenyans are being taught that democracy is a 360 days affair every year. Wait until NASA unveils its new more organized 21st century ways of conducting protests such as sit ins, picketing, boycotts and peaceful demonstrations which even families with small children can participate. Once we have learned how to do these kinds of protests, we can use them at the county level, at places of business at the national level etc. to protest and resist abuse, discrimination and all kinds of injustices. While Ruto want to take us back to the only governance he knows best "Moi days", NASA is moving this country forward into the 21st century democracy.History does not travel in a straight line.

People are too invested in companies like sufferingcom to have the luxury to move over. I don't know anone not using their product one way or another. I also doubt nasa has spent enough timenyesha teaching people the alternative to services such mpesa. Also the leaders should lead by example. Move all their numbers to other carriers. It's a good way to send a message. It worked very well in the us against companies or ceos that supported the Donald. I boycotted under armour products even though our son likes their running gear. The boycott worked. Their ceo quit trump economic advisory team. It worked well mainly because we had alternatives.

The boycott will fail because not everyone's convinced of Jubilee's grave sins. Only the diehard base will heed the call. This will compound the investment trouble the Nyanza region is facing.
patel should pin this thread up there... we use it as a live countdown as the mighty business falls. Those green Safaricom shops in Kisumu, Machakos, Mombasa, etc should soon close down as there will be no customers to serve.
Boycott of business is a very new thing in Kenya and a lot of people do not understand how it works. It only takes a few people to do it for the business to feel the pinch. NAACP called for a boycott of American Airlines not too long ago and many African Americans are not even aware of the boycott and yet the CEO of AA has already called a meeting with the NAACP. Like Miguna Said, the days of accepting and Moving on are over.The boycott will fail because not everyone's convinced of Jubilee's grave sins. Only the diehard base will heed the call.

How is this comparable to the US? NAACP vs airlines is not a nationally political issue. Show me a scenario where the US government has changed policy due to economic boycott of private business. Even the withdrawal of the CEOs from the presidential council changed nothing in Trump's policies. Only the courts managed that. There are probably more companies in support of Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Accord than there are opponents.
Specifically in Kenya. Of course this politics of sabotage is new. Business - like journalists - are not likely to take the NASA interference well. This will affect their financing. I have not heard anything from the bankers association on the Equity boycott but am sure they will not have kind words.
We will all watch and see here as it unfolds. Business losses cannot go hidden and we will soon see what becomes of them. Besides the negative effects on the Nyanza region, my bet is a resounding failure to impact politics.Boycott of business is a very new thing in Kenya and a lot of people do not understand how it works.

The civil rights movement. The gay rights movement. Mahatma Gandhi. The 3rd Liberation of Kenya. But then again this could be hyperbole. God bless you brother. Whatever you do may it be less harm than good.
Boycott will be yet another epic failure. Not gonna work.

Hypothetically can Safaricom and the other companies sue NASA? For victimizing them, etc.
Very positive they can but "He who comes into equity must come with clean hands." ... The maxim is the basis of the clean hands doctrine. Its purpose is to protect the integrity of the court. It does not disapprove only of illegal acts but will deny relief for bad conduct. secondly why should they when Baghdad bob has stated categorically that boycott will be an epic failure????Hypothetically can Safaricom and the other companies sue NASA?

WHAT H.E RAILA ODINGA’S CALL FOR BOYCOTT MEANS.Muddled opinion.
By Norman Magaya.
A lot has been said about the boycott of Safaricom, Bidco and Brookside. But not much is being said about what a boycott actually means.
If you listen to Hon David Murathe speak, you will understand the thinking of the ethnocracy. David Murathe confidently says “these people are protesting because they have no stake in the economy”.
If you meet your typical ethnic supremacist, that is the narrative they have – we own the economy, you people are just buyers. What they don’t say is that this state of things originated from land acquisition in the 60s and 70s and the redistribution of such land to a specific people.
That is the background. You have a state built on ethnocracy, that looks upon some of its citizens as poor, backward people whose only use is as a market. That is why the cynical and condescending sham of October 26th happened.
So how does a boycott come into this?
A boycott is a strategic move because it can be steered in a way that gives power to the market rather than the supplier. If the declared boycott of Safaricom is followed through with MPs and MCAs leading constituents to Airtel lines to ‘vote’ with their SIM cards, then in a few weeks millions of people can move to Airtel from Safaricom. Then NASA can begin to lead constituents in a similar fashion to MPESA alternatives. The idea is to divorce the people from the economy that the ethnocracy controls.
If it can be demonstrated by example that NASA can actually move people away from a company en masse, then a new respect will emerge among the wealthy for their market. This is a very good outcome.
NASA represents parts of Kenya that have faced marginalization for decades. The Coast has suffered because of historical land injustices.
Luo Nyanza has suffered because opportunities were denied and leaders killed.
Northern Kenya has suffered because the government did not invest in it.
Western has suffered because of deals between Uhuru and Museveni that have killed sugar industry. These and more have made such regions so destitute that they can only function as consumers. Much of Kenya’s industrial and agricultural output is in Central and the Rift Valley – by design. Which makes some regions producers of goods, services and employment, while others are consumers. Because of this, we are expected to kneel before our economy owners/masters or face unemployment and starvation. How is this then a democratic market economy?
Safaricom as a network has been involved in many of the crimes committed against citizens. Bidco’s owners are alleged big donors of both PNU and Jubilee. Brookside has created a dairy monopoly in Kenya and then made deals with Uganda to sell milk there and in return allow Ugandan sugar into Kenya at the expense of Mumias, Sony, Ramisi and the rest.
These are companies that employ Kenyans yes, but must we live under tyranny simply for want of employment? When Kenya is free of Jubilee regime do we not have minds that can run these and even bigger and better companies?
Remember how the colonialists mocked Africans for wanting independence by saying we could not handle it because we could not even manufacture a needle? Are we not independent now and making needles? Will we then continue dying from police bullets, living under fake democracy and suffering ethnic-based marginalization simply because we are afraid of losing jobs? Why are we like this?
Let Safaricom fall if that is what it takes. The post-Jubilee government will make a new Safaricom that does not aid in election fraud. Let Bidco fall if that is what it takes. If every county has its own vegetable oil press that will be more employment and none of the profit will be spent on oathing and militias that are killing people in Kisumu. Let Brookside fall if that is what it takes. Is the science of dairy farming only known to the Kenyattas? Must we buy milk from them? Are our villages and farms unable to have milk processing plants?
Revolution is not eating ice-cream. Resistance is not a romantic holiday. There mustbe some sacrifice in order for the greater good to be secured for the future. Are we going to sit and complain about little inconveniences when the very constitution that allows us the space to complain and resist was achieved through blood, long prison sentences and torture? Do you think the clamor for multi-partyism was silly people complaining about the coldness of the prison cells?
There cannot be any reform if everyone sits and complains about the process. Every revolution starts somewhere.
The Arab spring began with a single man setting himself on fire in Tunisia. People took action, they did not sit and discuss the brand of fuel the man used.

I think you're being clever by half. The market is buoyed by short term share profiteers whose interest in Safcom has nothing to do with the wellbeing of the firm.
The boycott is still in its infancy and you know very well that performance data is not available yet. But the behaviour of the dealer network is telling as demand has tailed off, otherwise they won't be crying at press conferences.
I say let's wait for Safcom quarterly results if at all they'll be truthful about them. I've got relatives at Safcom and they are jumping ship.
Let's revisit in 6 months.

Interestingly, you left yourself a way out for you not to admit you may be wrong by stating and I quote you "if at all they'll be truthful about them."
Fascinating.
wow bryan do you even trust the little Kenyan left in you?
Imagine that...asking sane people to trust in the honesty of thugs. It must be lovely in that rose-coloured universe, wish I could move there. :Dwow bryan do you even trust the little Kenyan left in you?
Er.... no. Should I?

We as a nation. Otherwise how do you explain why our country is in tatters?Who's the "we" that's done the "it" here? If this is another damn-all-Kenyans argument, let me just say I strongly disagree.Public companies are audited and it's criminal to lie about their numbers.
It's also criminal to rig elections, murder citizens and to intimidate state officers in order to influence them.
Audits will be a walkover in this environment
Took 50+ years but we've done it, haven't we?

We as a nation. Otherwise how do you explain why our country is in tatters?This is factually untrue. Apart from Pundit, Kichwa and Bryan, who else here has "their man" eyeing the top seat? I know my reasons for hedging my bets with a Raila-led team. It's not because he is in any way, shape or form "my man" and it's not because I'm giddy about the prospect of watching him "eat".
It's obvious that the vast majority of Kenyans have no idea what we want aside from putting one of our own in charge.
Go through the forum, as an example, and take a look at both sides. Nobody gives a hoot as long as their side is in power and eating. The crazy belief that Kenya can only prosper when our own is in charge is very prevalent in our society. Only a minority see the total BS for what it is.
Sad? Hell yeah but it's the unfortunate truth.

Boycott worked so much Safaricom is now valued at it highest ever. Look like investors don't buy the BS.
Safaricom will definitely make more money next year than this year. They are tightening screws on M-pesa - make it hard for people to game it to avoid paying transaction fee -
