Giant telecommunication company Safaricom has explained the ongoing challenges experienced by Kenyans while accessing the internet. In a statement, Safaricom said they experienced an outage on two of our undersea cables that deliver internet traffic in and out of the country. "You may, however, experience reduced internet speeds and intermittency on various apps including M-PESA Super App and Safaricom APP." "For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority has no intention whatsoever to shut down internet traffic or interfere with the quality of connectivity." "Further, such actions would also sabotage our fast-growing digital economy as Internet connectivity supports thousands of livelihoods across the country," he said.
