Michuki, the problem with our 999 is complex. Apart from the fact that it rarely works (goes thro), i suspect that if it did go thro' it may not make a difference. Imagine u r being attacked by Mungikis at your residence, u pick up your phone, dial 999 or 911 and the local BPO provider efficiently links to your nearest police station. Its only early evening (8.30pm) and you feel lucky as the Policeman at the other end picks up the phone...but then you realise your luck is out because he says, he has no fuel and/or a car to bring his 'mboys' to your rescue...u suddenly realise your problem was much bigger than the BPO - local or otherwise. walu. --- Michuki Mwangi <[email protected]> wrote:
There has always been complains and concerns raised on the emergency service numbers 999. As a result, the enterprising Kenyan's amongst us have opted to provide similar emergency numbers that come at a fee to its subscribers i.e the 911 service.
On the other hand, we are seeking to provide BPO for multi-nationals and others at significant investment costs. While i support the initiative and its opportunities, i believe we also need to review the local opportunities for outsourcing that may come with a less 'investment price tag'. With this in mind is the 999 service which is a national service to 32M plus Kenyans ... that would probably be the largest call center.
If this was to work am would be certain most of the other call center requiring service providers would follow suit.
