Safaricom network breakdown affects millions


Safaricom Limited on Monday morning suffered a countrywide outage that left millions of its subscribers unable to transact and make calls.

The telecommunication company said the outage was as a result of a technical fault that its teams were working hard to resolve.

Subscribers started noticing at around 9:30 am when the company responded to the first twitter enquiry.
