This level of honesty is definitely good for any organisation!
A CEO who admits when things are not right is a gem. The sky is the limit for Bob and Safaricom share prices.. watch this space by Friday!


I applaud WHAT Bob C is doing at Scom as he will arrest some of the funds that Scom has been needlessly paying to dealers. However, I am suprised that the company has been so slow to catch up with this. It has been very plain that this has been happening for ages - Practically all those dealers who had (have) been selling Safcom simcards with preloaded airtime but with the simcard already activated have been carrying out this farce.

However, I do not think that this has been limited to Scom. I remember Orange coming out with the same complaint much earlier.

I would be surprised if indeed the sky were the limit for the Safaricom share price. Perhaps, I should ask what exactly is your definition of "the sky"?

as @ mwanahisa says this problem plagued orange sometime back forcing them to review their commissions and term of service.

BOB has done something which needed to be done much earlier anyway given that he has shown he is not going to tolerate any wastage of the company's diminishing resource its just a matter of time b4 we see an efficient telco that is able to face the competition more effectively.

Bob for the time will do well so long as he doesn't get into the safcom corruption cartels, MJ could not do much to halt corruption as he was himself one of the biggest safcom supplier!!!!
