Safaricom to provide 100% 4G network coverage at the end of this year

Safaricom has today announced plans to provide 100% 4G network coverage across the country by end of this year as part of its growth strategy focused on being the technology partner of choice.

Safaricom, celebrating its 20th  anniversary this year, has embarked on its next phase of growth that will be driven by a vision to become a purpose-led technology company by 2025.

Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Peter Ndegwa made the announcement as he released financial results for the half year ended 30th September, 2020 which saw net profit decrease by 6.0% to KES 33.07 billion with service revenue hitting KES 118.41 billion.

“Our business has proved to be resilient despite tough operating conditions. There is no doubt that COVID-19 has dealt a huge blow to many people not just in Kenya, but across the globe. This has been a tough period for businesses—small and large alike—and our customers. We are committed to walk through this journey together.”
