Just a quick feedback on county no 23: Lodwar: 4G works. (surprisingly well) Lorungum: about 45 clicks due west on your way to UG: 3G works. In between, spotty cell reception. Katilu, almost a hundred clicks due south of Lodwar has zero network. patchy Edge signal. Otherwise all good up here. Regards, Collins Areba, Kilifi, Kenya.

This is excellent feedback Barrack.
Good to know they delivered beyond expectations. Parts of limuru still have signal (both voice and data) challenges but najua wanaweza bado.
Serikali read safaricom tafadhali.

Hi Listers,
In June 2017 i raised an issue during the talk to Safaricom debate with regard to poor signal from Kisamese (Ole Polos division). I am happy to report that Safaricom went beyond my expectations and we actually have a 3 G signal. I am able to work comfortably from the location. Thanks Steve Chege and the team of engineers that you dispatched. Mnaweza kabisa. Please consider other areas in mashinani as well.
Best Regards

Hi Walu,
Many thanks for this discussion. I also appreciate the kind gesture from the Safaricom to engage the general public, this is a great way to start the year and we hope it continues the same way.
My question regards mobile signal coverage of Kisamese and Olepolos areas which are within 50 Kilometres from Nairobi. The quality of the signal is very poor yet there is a growing urban populace. I had raised this issue with Safaricom Customer service and they promised to work on it but it has been a year waiting for some positive feedback. Can our good friends at Safaricom do something about the blind spots and strengthening of 3 G in the area? By extension coverage is very bad and non existent as you move further towards Magadi in particular Oltepesi and Tinga areas. I hope to get some feedback on the plans Safaricom has to boost the signal in this area.
I will be back with more questions
