Do you know where I can find it?  Which organization is mandated to institutionalize the bill?  I would love to know more.

A Critical Infrastructure Protection Bill is clearly needed.  Safaricom should be one of communication infrastructure institution covered. They are this important over and above the dominance debate. 


In 2011, I wrote a proposal on this to the e-government directorate then. I hope we don't just talk about this outage incident but learn and take some actions. 

CS Mucheru and PS Victor can pick this up.  Hopefully, full time whistle does not go off before they can table.  All the same,  this needs to be done and must be done.

Ali,

Do you now see the wisdom of declaring Safaricom dominant and at least getting 2-3 other players with a sizeable market share to spread the risk?

When Safcom goes down and it will inevitably will at times, the following happens:
1. 80% of the country citizens are without communication
2. 80% of the country's citizens are without access to money & banking services.
3. 100% of the police security & communication system is offline.

We put all our country's eggs in that one basket... and the basket is bound to drop once in awhile....

This issue continues to have serious ramifications. Yesterday Bob, the CEO, made a very impassioned statement on the downtime. I liked the fact that he said there's no excuse for such a thing to happen and that they are working on restoring full services. 

However, I think Bob's statement simply didn't go far enough. We are seeing a different Safaricom - one that seems attuned to the customer and more open that's why I'm disappointed that Mpesa is still down today morning and we have had nothing from Safaricom. A simple use of SMS to update us on an hourly basis is not too much to ask. 

It's clear that Safaricom is now so embedded in our lives that total openness is not only a must it's a Business Continuity Conversation.

Safaricom may face sanctions over network outage

That one network has this much power over economy is frightening and must be addressed. Today has proven that it's not enough that Safaricom says they won't misuse their dominance, it's enough that if they fail the country slows to a crawl. 

Sent on the move, kindly excuse any typos.
