What would be the difference between 'the cause of the outage' and 'the root cause of the outage'?Root cause sounds like it was an illness?

I now support calls for safaricom and MPESA breakup. You can imagine the impact of today's downtime to the economy. Hope Parliament and CA will do something ASAP

Who takes over/buys/becomes the new owner of MPESA?

How will that help if that service runs behind the other services on the same network..ie MPESA powered by Safcom..

All mobile money services de-linked from telcos. MPESA, Airtel Money etc to be accessed seamlessly on any local network. who takes over?: Vodafone/ Safaricom holding company can still own the spin off or alternatively offer it to the market to a willing buyer. Same precedence will apply to Airtel

@Chaka totally independent i.e. can be accessed from any network(Safaricom,Airtel, Telkom etc). MPESA becomes just an app/it is already an app

Unfortunately at this point there's nobody who can tell safaricom what to do. Airtel used to cry out for gava to intercede and break the monopoly, but people said they were just being bitter. Now that monopoly boat has sailed a long time ago and we have to reap what we've sowed. Only thing you can do now to ease the pain is to buy their shares
