The technical issue which began on Thursday late evening has attracted mixed reactions on social media. As usual, KOT never hesitates to make fun out of serious issues affecting Kenyan’s lives.
See how funny people are reacting over the glitch
@Safaricom_Care I just bought 1K airtime from MPESA and no response, you're waiting I buy a 2nd time so you can send me both and then we start a long argument about how you dont refund bought airtime, right?

The current phrase in all Mpesa shops at the moment in central Kenya is '' Kuna ndelay''

However, some rumors claim that the reports of Mpesa not working are fueled by paid bloggers whose main aim is to tarnish The company’s name.
kindly ignore those bloggers who’ve been paid to tarnish the reputation of Mpesa operations.They have been paid by
@AIRTEL_KE to confuse people.
