Edgar Obare claims MC Gogo was spotted with a senior Kenyan politician amid allegations that the politician might be chewing and penetrating the celebrated Gen Z MC and hype master.
I know many will disagree with me on this, but hear me out.
Safaricom under Bob Collymore felt different.
It felt simpler, more innovative, and more customer-focused.
When Bob was in charge, many Kenyans felt proud of what Safaricom was becoming.
But ever since he passed, something seems to have shifted.
The decisions feel less connected to customers, and products like OneApp only deepen that feeling.
Maybe I’m wrong.
But I can’t be the only one who feels Safaricom lost part of its soul after Bob.
In 2002, I bought my Safaricom line.
Ksh 2499.
I still use it.
It came in a metallic tin, with a booklet (a user manual), and a template for the SIM card.
It was preset on the Taifa Tariff.
Ksh 36 per minute billing during peak, and Ksh 27 per minute billing during off-peak.
Per-minute billing means that even if you talk for 32 seconds, you will be charged the per-minute rate.
At that time, KENCELL (later CELTEL, then ZAIN and now AIRTEL) was everyone's favourite carrier.
Safaricom was struggling to attract subscribers due to KENCELL's awkward commercials that portrayed Safaricom's network as sluggish and chaotic.
But, 2 months later, Safaricom reduced the price of its SIM cards to Ksh 99.
I almost went mad after spending KSH 2499 just two months earlier.
There were massive lines in Safaricom shops in Nairobi and Nakuru.
Nakuru, Kenyatta Avenue, next to Merica Hotel, was impassable for 1 week. There was a Safaricom shop there, and later a Samchi Telecom shop.
A lot of people had bought phones and kept them at home, especially Motorola T190 and Siemens C35, because they couldn't afford SIM cards or the cost of making calls.
A Motorola T190 was selling at KSH 17,999.
A Siemens C35 was selling at 11,499.
Safaricom immediately began selling locked mobile phones that could be used only with Safaricom SIM cards.
Later that year, Kibaki was overwhelmingly elected president, and his regime liberalised the telecommunications industry, and we began advancing in telecommunications technology.
We have come from far!
