A 19-year-old Kenyan man has walked away with goodies worth thousands of shillings after he was crowned as the 30 millionth Safaricom customer.
Denis Muthii from Kimunye in Kirinyaga County was recognized as Safaricom’s 30 millionth subscriber in a ceremony on Monday.
Muthii says he purchased a Safaricom SIM card in Kerugoya town shortly after completing his Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE).
“I chose to purchase a Safaricom line because I felt their weekly bundles aligned closely with my needs,” says Muthii.
Safaricom has awarded him with a two-year scholarship worth Sh300,000 to fund his technical course in mechanical engineering.
He has further been given a mechanic toolkit, a year’s worth of All in One bundle at Sh10,000 monthly, Sh10,000 worth of airtime per month for a year, and Samsung Galaxy Note 9 phone.
“We are deeply humbled and honored that Denis and more than 30 million customers have chosen Safaricom as their preferred service provider.”
“The trust that our customers have put in us is an affirmation of our strategy of always placing our customer first and of providing them with relevant and affordably priced products. As a show of appreciation, we are glad to walk with Denis in his ambition to bring to life his passion to be a professional mechanical engineer,” says Sylvia Mulinge, Safaricom’s Chief Customer Officer.
