It makes sense to split the retainer between Corporate, cSR, Events. And it makes even more sense for me to put some money aside to buy SCANgroup share at the Exchange - Gosh they have everything! What is admirable though, is the courage by GinaDin to save face and pull out of the account confirmed on Twitter. https://twitter.com/#!/bobcollymore/status/180775420411645955

But your story link TechMtaa is quite pro-Gina Din while @madollar's link NairobiTech seems to lean on the Safaricom side. Though both stories are factual in most respects, the article by Robert Alai smacks of washing dirty linen in public or a hired gun. Sample: Quote: ....key “untouchable personnel” who are in marketing, advertising and PR might have pushed Gina Din out-of-the-way... ...as some of the key personnel who have been pushed out of Safaricom by Wangari Murugu and other senior executives who have a godfather in Chairman, Michael Ng’ang’a and view Bob Collymore as a very weak CEO. Key sources indicates that Safaricom cannot match its peers on employee benefits with most of the key senior staff now feeling wasted and over used while the “company does not upgrade you.” Wangari Murugu’s sister, Fiona Murugu, is also said to be a key middle level employee in the company. Victoria Kaigai ... most of her peers are at a loss to what value she will bring into Safaricom PR.

Lately I have seen bob collymore try to connect with the average mwananchi...I saw some picture of him touring Ghetto and some Eastlands estates with Juliani...I think the company wants to go back to its roots before they loose it to the competition.

Son, I've made my life out of readin' people's faces, And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. So if you don't mind my saying, I can see you're out of tweets. ...You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done. "For i am the master and the captain of my fate"

BBI will solve it :)
