SAFARICOM'S INEVITABLE WOES

I have been thinking about Safaricom and the impact of their alleged role in August eighth poll rigging. I am made to understand the company so far, in just a matter of days has already lost over 2 million subscribers. This is a grim picture of the future of the company in the communication market as Airtel equally gets the unfair advantage necessitated by Safari com's downfall.

Consider an arbitrary estimate, where the company is to make an average profit of ksh 1000 per subscriber per year. This implies Safaricom is already bracing for a loss of about 2 billion at the end of the year. I don't work with the company and so don't take my theory to be the gospel truth. Loosing 2 million subscribers in days means at the end of the year its subscription could plummete to less than 5 million.

Honestly, the company was adamant to cooperate with Louis Moreno Ocampo and Ben Souda in their attempt to retrieve phonecalls belonging to then President Uhuru and his deputy while they were having a case at the Hague; so outlandish that, same Safaricom( if they were the  Service provider mentioned by Angaza network director, in his petition against a few supreme court judges) illegally exposed the telephone conversations of the supreme court judges.

The company must do a self introspection on its relationship with the government vis avis that  with the Kenyan populace. The communication giant should never even think of colluding with beaurucrats to monopolize the communication industry at the expense of Kenya's democracy. Nations all over the world are today extra-vigillant against tumbocracy by some huge companies and amalgams being awarded lucrative government tenders but are used to subvert the will of the people.

 Consequently it is imperative for the company to rethink its corporate social responsibility and relationship. If the country comes to hate the company, then RIP is the partying shot.

MONEY MAKES MAN MAD

Money is the exact opposite of the Holy spirit. Money changes people. When a poor person finally gets money, the person changes like a snake that sheds it's exo-skeleton or like a caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or a moth. The moth can never remember it's Caterpillar life.  Wait! Almost everyone who was not borne in a flood of money. Some men immediately start to think, they can be sponsors or even to the extreme end, add onto themselves more wives and concubines. Some men all of a sudden fall out of love with the women who stood with them at their lowest height below poverty level.  The worse though are women. when a woman who had not known money comes to find good money in the palm of her hands. Immediately she compulsively feels, " I don't need a man. Where can I take a man. I am independent. I can pay my rent, buy any clothe I want, I can buy a car and do everything I want. No I don't need a man."  That is when a married woman stops ...

WHY GIVING TITLEDEEDS DOES NOT SOLVE HISTORICAL LAND INJUSTICE

HISTORICAL LAND INJUSTICE. Sometimes I pity the common unlearned citizens. You know how in the spiritual realms they tell you. The Devil is a lier. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. Then they postulate, the Devil will deceive you and seduce you. I am talking about something else. Not spending my energy and bundles talking about the Devil. I hardly mention the Devil in my prayers and if unknowingly I do, then albeit once or at most twice. It is because it's a complete waste of words. There is this dogma called, HISTORICAL INJUSTICES, particularly land injustices. When talking about historical land injustices. We are not talking about private land or individual inherited land. We are talking about communal land and public land. Well am not writing a paper on this subject. I'm merely pointing out that historical land injustices is an elephant a queen ant cannot carry using it's limbs. You cannot solve land injustices dating to colonial era by dishing one or two titl...

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains...
