NASWA Revolution bites hard

[Nefertiti]

Safaricom just announced 22B half year profit. The Ag CEO is one Joseph Ogutu This must be very hard to swallow.

Conspiracy theorists already tell us that Bob left precisely for his role in rigging nane nane and threats of boycott.

Really? I hope it's true. That would be so much better than cancer.

[Dear Mami]

Safaricom has 12 executives.
Of these 9 are Kenyan.
Of these 5 are Luo.
2 Kamba.
1 Kikuyu.
1 Kalenjin.

Why is that important?

It's a "kikuyu business " like Equity.

My understanding: Kikuyu businesses are not the target. Business colluders/supporters of Jubilee are. The tribes of the CEOs won't matter.

Why Equity Bank?

[Dear Mami]

Probably gave money to Muigai or something like that. They are trying to pinch influencers of Muigai's siasa.

If these guys were serious, they wouldn't be throwing around silly boycotts in a country with limited choices for the common wanainchi. Mpesa, among other Safcom products, is the lifeblood of many a Kenyans.

This will only achieve one thing....make nasa financiers ran away...and having boycotted elections therefore starving itself of gok funding...Raila is even more kaput.Raila is basically undoing all the progress he has made as he works hard to become militia leader.Raila should simply honor his mou and let kalonzo try his luck in 2022.

[Nefertiti]

Hehe. I think with 60 MPs ODM still hits the 5% mark - and qualify for 10% of the party fund - as Jubilee bags 90%

Does Airtel or Telcom have an mpesa type of product?

I've activated migration to Airtel.  To hell with electoral fraudsters and their enablers.

Kumbe brookside has been killing dairy farmers.

I use Equitel for mobile banking (just used the sim card to activate the app), Airtel for dirt cheap but horribly slow internet speed(used on my iPad from which I tether my phone while out of the house), and Safaricom for life( home internet, voice,text,MPesa,Neteller,Skrill...Mkesho,Mshwari for a church chama)

Idiots will just get an Airtel line but retain the saf line for Mpesa

Enter conspiracy theories

That companies have to "donate" to supremo to avoid listing in the brazen & bizarre extortion racket- styled" economic boycott "? Criminal!

Like I'd mentioned before, NASA governors now fearing their looting will be affected:

Expect Senators , MPs and MCAs to start having silent misgivings also.

Airtel taking full advantage of the call to boycott Safcon. [emoji23]

Your analysis is understandable under the current politicians driven politics. What Raila is doing is empowering the people and letting them take over.  Once the people are fully empowered, no politician will dare get off the line. We will teach the people how to demonstrate peacefully, graciously and with humility,  like they do in the West and then more people will come to the streets including people with jobs, businessmen and women, middle class and people will even bring children. Time is on our side.

That's a Mickey mouse number designed to shock the public.  The finance CS has it 1% gdp making it 80b.

The eventual cost of corruption and poor governance is the entire nation, lost lives etc.

I wonder how the poor can be said to be empowered when there is, as far as I can tell, not a single meaningful step being taken by both coalitions to provide a conducive economic environment for said empowerment.

Not trying to be cynical, just wondering out aloud.

Kindly note anything Raila does is empowering and democratic. All for the greater good.
