Mpesa services in the country are currently down and twitter has blown up with angry netizens demanding answers! Safaricom hasn’t yet issued a statement on the cause of the delays countrywide but trust Kenyans to jump at the earliest convenience.
They have come out in large numbers hilariously stating that the delays are only being experienced by those without the ‘controversial’ Huduma Namba.
Some have claimed that this is a way to squash resistors before the deadline to covince them to get the number. Here are some of the funny reactions:
So they have started,those who resisted Huduma Namba your mpesa have been blocked😂😂😂😛#Mpesa#HudumaNamba

@SafaricomPLC 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. #HudumaNamba #HudumaNumber

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