I don't blame Safcom or anyone else. Had they not done so, GoK would have whacked them with higher taxes.
Now I await some GoK crooks who will say that Safcom should not pass on extra costs the consumers...

These guys are reckless. They should not pass the cost to consumers. How much profit is enough profit


Are they taxing profitability or the service? The profit is taxed, if the govt feels they need more taxation out of the service safaricom is providing then the subscribers should foot it

There's no corporate ethics behind this.. Kenya is a poor state and the citizens need a break


Whoever feels they are poor at Safaricom can move to a firm that recognizes their poverty. Safaricom doesn't set taxes in Kenya.

True. I am going to hurt but the increased taxes but the Dynamic Duo didn't get into power without the consent of 50%+1.

I may not be a fan of Safcom as a consumer but for the last 10 years they have innovated like crazy. Other monopolies eg KQ and KPLC have crashed.
From M-Pesa, to Tills/Buy Goods to FTTH. These are long-term projects that needed massive investments in time and resources.
Celtel/Zain/Airtel dropped the ball.
Telkom/Orange/Telkom was a non-starter.

I prefer a (competitive) market economy to price controls that kill off innovation.

I want Airtel, Telkom and Faiba to step up and force Safcom to lower prices thanks to competition.


Well spoken and very true.Airtel,Telkom and Fiba should step up.

I had Zuku and on some days I spent more time calling them about service issues than I spent on the internet!

The margin per transaction may be smaller for Safcom (among others) but the volumes may make up for the shortfall.
