@Ngigi, Well noted.@Ali NOFBI is a good reason to invest further in Telkom Kenya.It is a governance/political issue here, not a market issue.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.On Apr 25, 2017 9:17 PM, "Ngigi Waithaka via kictanet" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: Now, the big issue is that Safaricom rans a very large part of our country's 'core' infrastructure and it would be *very irresponsible* of the regulators to sit back, looking at the scraps of 'competition' as a healthy industry and hope against hope that nothing evil would befall Safaricom.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.
