@Ali NOFBI is a good reason to invest further in Telkom Kenya.
Fortunately for Kenya, we have a CS who understands markets, investors and now governance.
NSE listed firms are collapsing because corruption networks prioritize dishonest gain over service delivery (which includes building up Kenyan talent/firms).
Asset recovery will occur if/when our Security & Judiciary officials resist loot offered to them.
Some of these funds could be utilized to build up NOFBI (network infrastructure) and communication channels (radio, text, portals, etc) to engage citizenry in a civil (non political) manner on day to day issues such as security, extortion, careless driving, etc.

Even Safaricom themselves have a policy of buying their core equipment from at least *TWO* separate vendors , regardless of how good a deal one vendor could give them in total. They don''t leave it to the market to decide!
Its called *RISK MANAGEMENT*
So, if they can do that for their own equipment, it is only prudent that we as a country also have proper risk management in our core services. It is *NOT* a question of splitting the firm, but ensuring, by whatever means necessary, that we have at least 3 credible options.
