Safaricom, RMS caravan rewards Nairobi residents for the third day

For the third day running, the Sambaza Furaha na Safaricom Caravan camped in Nairobi County sharing goodies with Dandora, Huruma, City Stadium and Kayole residents.

With every stop, a customer walked away with either a chicken, goat, phone or gift hampers containing food items. Not forgetting airtime as Safaricom kept to its promise of connecting Kenyans.

Mary Nabwire, a phone winner, said: “Nilikuwa namiss kuuza online kwa sababu wakati unafanya marketing online inakuimarisha kimaisha..”

The celebration also provided an opportunity for business operators to get educated on new ways of doing business and ensuring that their money is safe through Pochi la Biashara.

Emily Atieno, a business operator at Nyama Villa, said: “Wametuletea furaha pia wametusaidia kuinua biashara kwa sababu hata tukitumia Pochi la Biashara tulikuwa na wasiwasi hatujui kama ni ya ukweli lakini ju tumewaona wenyewe tumefurahia, tumeconfirm.”

Esther Waititu, the Chief Financial Services Officer, M-Pesa said: “We have offers for businesses, today we have spent time with businesses, we have 25% offer off on fibre.”

And as it is the norm of every celebration, music and entertainment was the order of the day. Presenters from Royal Media Services radio stations were at hand to interact with their fans and also spread joy.

Tina Ogal, Acting Head of Radio Citizen, stated: “As Safaricom marks its 24th birthday, M-Pesa which will mark 18 years in March 2025 recorded a milestone after surpassing 34 million customers as of November 30th.”

The Sambaza Furaha na Safaricom caravan is on Thursday expected to tour Kiambu County with stops in Ruaka, Ruiru, Kimbo, Juja, Kirigiti and Weiteithie.
