Safaricom, Kenyas largest Mobile telecommunication company Plans to go completely down on saturday 26th 1600hrs to sunday 27th 1000hrs. During this period all Safaricom services will be affected. M-pesa transactions will not be available and so will top up sambaza, internet voice calls and practically everyything that Safaricom offers will be off air. Safaricom controls about 70 percent of the marketshare and with 17 million subscriber it is certainly the market leader.
This comes in the wake of vicious price wars that has made rates for making calls to go as low as one shilling a minute. The upgrade might just be a way of Safaricom coming back with a bang at its arch-rival Airtel Kenya which introduced the low tarrif model to Kenya after years of Monopoly from Safaricom.
Kenyans should expect a much improved service from Safaricom in its Money transfer service M-pesa and its 3g internet network.
