I prophesy: After this purchase of Yu, we're gonna have Safaricom buying Airtel, while Orange will naturally collapse somehow, unless it's sold to another entity, and it does proper stuff restructuring. Then? No Triopoly. Just a monopoly. This prediction is not too far into the future, not even vision 2030.

The regulator has just received the application. We are in the process of reviewing the application with a view to deciding the way forward.  It is therefore too early to subject the application to public consultation.

Subject: [kictanet] Yu acquisition proposal to regulator

Airtel, Safaricom seek to buy Essar’s Yu in Kenya - Safaricom will get Yu’s infrastructure, while Airtel is expected to acquire Yu’s subscriber base <http://www.livemint.com/Industry/BZZuR21BJsoJf6jksBhnVN/Airtel-Safaricom-seek-to-buy-Kenyan-rival-Essars-Yu.html>

Considering the profoundly adverse Triopoly consumer choice consequences,
Should the regulator not initiate a public consultation before decision making?
