Safaricom has become the latest victim of vandals posing as opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) supporters, after a Customer care shop located along Moi Avenue street in Nairobi was vandalized on Saturday morning.
Witnesses of the Saturday morning incident said that a group of men rammed a car into the shop, destroying a large section of the shop’s glass walls. The group of youths were reportedly chanting pro-Raila slogans as they vandalized the shop, while saying that they wanted to teach Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Bob Collymore a lesson.
NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga last week linked the telecommunication firm to the ‘bungled’ August 8th presidential election. He accused six senior Safaricom employees of involving themselves in an election rigging plot to hand President Uhuru a victory. He alleged the six staffers connived with French ICT company, OT Morpho and the IEBC to manipulate the election in favour of President Uhuru.
In defending his staff, Collymore said that Safaricom transmitted the election results and warned the opposition leader against attacking his employees.
On Friday, NASA supporters taking part in anti-IEBC demos in Kisumu looted Tumaini Supermarket and a nearby eatery.
I havent heard Raila…
I havent heard Raila condemning these acts of vandalism from his supposedly supporters.This leaves me with the notion that he is aquiescing to their actions.What a shame!
Alaw should be instituted to discourage supporters of a candidate from these kind of criminal acts.Fining the candidate for the actions of his or her supporters should be a good starting point.That way ,the candidate and his supporters will think twice about hurting themselves.
They need to arrest them and…
They need to arrest them and lock them up.
I agree. And believe it or…
I agree. And believe it or not at the Police Station or Court: Some of these Vandals could be found out to be Kikuyus MASQUERADING as NASAns; Jubillians Looting and Taking Advantage of the Situation.

Criminals take advantage of a such demonstrations and sometimes hijack them for their own interest.
It was good that you joined…
It was good that you joined other boys in Kisumu to make your city economically grown that it needs no investors.GUEST 1 as MD of IHII DESTROYERS & LOOTERS Co. presided over looting of TUMAINI & NAIVAS SUPERMARKET,burning Kondole market and roads,destroyed water pipes etc all belonging to Muigai Kamau & Ngina.
Backwards jerks! These idle…
Backwards jerks! These idle people are the same good for nothings who will crawl in their kunguni ridden beds with empty bellies whilst their leaders surround themselves with the best mchuzi wa nyama na kathalika that money can afford. Wajinga kabisa…don’t they realise they are deconstructing maendeleo that has taken decades to build?
I am sick of Raila and what he represents and sick in equal measures of Uhuru for not having the balls to control this rot!
The constitution of kenya…
The constitution of kenya MUST be changed to “force every male to be circumcised bila maji baridi” starting with Kisumu. All jaruos lazima watairishwe starting with raila and orengo to stop all this looting and chaos uhii – this is ridiculous – circumcision MUST now be enshrined in our constitution .. hii kutebea tebea with a loose hanging foreskin is causing kenya alot of problems – its time to chop it off
We na wewe Anonymous, wacha…
We na wewe Anonymous, wacha reasoning ya penny mbili na ndururu! If circumcision dictated how cleaver or wise people are, then the mzungu’s would be at the bottom of the pile. We all know we are trying to emulate the west at most things, or at least democracy, so please shelf that old argument and focus baba, our country is under siege – from the ignorant and self centered few!
