So far 200,000 Equitel customers with 6700 new ones per day....thin sim coming by Christmas You have to give him credit on that. The branches simply redeployed extra personnel especially the cute chicks to handle Equitel activations.

Mangs wrote:Safaricom certainly still have their dirty tricks up the sleeve; they may have sent "new customers" to buy the EQT thin sims and make it look like the customer base is amazing only for these "new customers" to disappear after the roll-out. Airtel & Yu both learnt this the hard way. Getting a pie from the incumbent is always a tall order but let's grab our popcorn jars, sit on the couch and enjoy the fight. It doesn't have to get that desperate. And NO, Safcom didn't sent us.

I have been watching Member for a while now and he has refused to come down below 50 for me to load more. Question is this Mbus worth riding @51 Bob for short term gain (1 year) or is it profit taking session. ....He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..

It will be a bruising war and Equity will win this game if its customers will support it. There was a time Barclays was the boss and we know where they are right now. History will not remember you for your IQ. It will remember you for what you did. “Genius is 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration.” Thomas Edison

Quote:In the last two months Equity bank has employed at least 600 new staff. Equity is on an expansion strategy and we have never, over the last 20 years retrenched and I can say it will not happen in the next ten years, he [Dr. James Mwangi] assured. Quote:There is a perception that we were given one year. Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) gave us unconditional licenses and its CA which said it will require one year to monitor the technology, Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

We will reap big from the construction of the standard gauge railway,this project requires banks with a large balance sheet and equity is already in talks with all the contractors for financing agreements we can't wait to see the growth when the projects gains motion...says J.m "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Chinese are financing but all sub contractor's can only be paid after they have undertaken their work using their finances, you can't imply that the Chinese will lend money to everybody infact most of that chinese money will land in our local banks, even the gvt,'s stake will be paid to contractors who have already spent their own money to deliver their work "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Contractors paid for work done and certified so they have to either use retained earnings or short term loans. The Chinese banks will not handle local lending but just lend to the China based companies which will look for funds in China then come spend it here. China banks already have a HUGE Asian market especially India with a billion people why come to unstable Africa before handling Asian countries next door first

And through (20%) Stanbic, China's largest bank is already in 'unstable' Africa. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

They ahve their conglomerates which can rival the Chinese,they've got the man power and the government.

The present black Africa is not similar to the largely unstable ungovernable gvts we had in the 90s. We have a large growing middle class and fairly competitive democracies. For you to leap from upcoming growth, you must invest in Africa now. China knows that. Of course they can add a default risk premium to Africa higher than that charged to US or say India. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.
