The older I get, the more I understand why people disappear into gardening, baking, reading, and long walks. Not because life got boring. Because peace became valuable.

There's a day I went shopping in a clothing store and this kid of about 15 walked in with his mother. He stood in one corner & for the next about 30 minutes did nothing but doomscroll through loud TikTok videos as his mother picked clothes. Dude was like a zombie, completely oblivious to his surrounding.

I felt so bad for him. Kids stopped living, they now just watch others living. And any curiosity that brought us excitement has since been dulled by informational overload. And because this information is constantly dispensed, they no longer feel obliged to actually live experiences. That's how we ended up with 13 year olds ventilating about the extremes of adult relationships. They lost before they even started.

I got into that app once and left immediately. If I ever get on back there, it will be purely for business purposes. Otherwise, it's an intellectual, spiritual, and emotional wasteland. A technological dystopia.

If you hear, “80% of Kenyan small businesses are not online,” and your first thought is, “Perfect, I’ll build websites for them and become a millionaire,” you may not be ready for entrepreneurship.

Because the real question is not whether they lack websites. It is why they lack them. Maybe they do not see the value. Maybe their customers come through WhatsApp, referrals and walk ins. Maybe they cannot afford one. Maybe the problem is payments, trust, logistics or simply survival.

Entrepreneurship in Kenya is not about spotting what people do not have and immediately trying to sell it to them. It is about understanding what keeps them awake at night, then building something valuable enough that they are willing to pay for it.

A gap in the market is not automatically a market in the gap.

One day I will write something about the importance of arrogance. Because arrogance weeds a lot of bullshit. Once people think you are a bit arrogant they come to you with caution. And some respect.

Avoid these mistakes when investing in MMFs:

✨Don’t chase returns
✨Don’t ignore the fund fact sheets
✨Don’t jump from one MMF to another
✨Don’t invest irregularly, stay consistent
✨Don’t use your MMF as a transaction account
✨Don’t ignore costs (management fees & taxes)
✨Don’t invest without knowing where the fund invests

Your customers don't care that you've been in business for 25 years.

They care whether you can solve their problem today.

Safaricom’s new Pata More mobile internet data offers are not the cheapest in Kenya.

But they may still be far more disruptive than they first appear.

I have used Airtel Kenya’s Smarta Bundles as my primary mobile internet connection for more than a year because the value has been extremely difficult to beat. However, I recently spent four days in Nakuru where both the hotel Wi-Fi and Airtel were slow and patchy.

I ended up buying a large Safaricom bundle because I needed to stay connected. It cost more—but it worked.

That experience captures the strategic importance of Pata More.

Safaricom has increased selected bundles without changing their prices:

✅ KES 20: 150MB → 250MB
✅ KES 99: 1GB → 1.5GB
✅ KES 1,000 monthly: 10.2GB → 21.5GB

Airtel still offers more headline data at comparable prices:

🔴 KES 20 daily: 300MB
🔴 KES 99 daily: 2.4GB
🔴 KES 1,000 monthly: 25GB
🔴 KES 1,000 Smarta Bundle: up to 45GB, plus calls and SMS—but released at 1.5GB per day

Jamii Telecommunication's Faiba Mobile remains even more aggressive for high-volume 4G users, including 70GB for KES 1,500 and 100GB for KES 2,000 through its shareable family bundles.

So why could Safaricom still win?

Because mobile data value is not just gigabytes divided by shillings. It is also whether the connection works indoors, on the highway, in a smaller town and deep in rural Kenya.

The Communications Authority of Kenya’s FY2024/25 quality assessment gave Safaricom an overall score of 90%, compared with Airtel’s 79.9%. As of March 2026, Safaricom also held 62.7% of mobile broadband subscriptions—although this had slipped from 64.3% in the previous quarter.

Pata More appears designed to stop that leakage.

Safaricom has not eliminated Airtel Kenya’s price advantage. It has narrowed it enough for Safaricom’s superior reach, speeds, and reliability to become a much bigger part of the decision.

This could:

1️⃣ Bring some dual-SIM data spending back to Safaricom.
2️⃣ Win back consumers who left because the price premium was too high.
3️⃣ Force Airtel Kenya to compete more aggressively on coverage, flexibility and customer experience.
4️⃣ Push Faiba Mobile further towards its strongest niche: large, shareable 4G bundles in areas where its network performs well.

My conclusion? Safaricom does not need to be Kenya’s cheapest mobile data network.

It only needs to become competitive enough that consumers are willing to pay a modest premium for certainty.

Pata More may have finally crossed that threshold.

Has it changed the mobile internet data equation for you - or will you remain with Airtel Kenya, Faiba Mobile or a dual-SIM setup? Let me know in the comments.
