Safaricom \’Stealing\’ From Mpesa Users Who Buy Airtime For Subscribers With Okoa Jahazi Debt –

Hello Barrack,

You have a point. But however, someone else\’s bad habits shouldn\’t be my
problem. Infact if its anyone\’s problem Safaricom should own it.

Can you imagine walking into Carrefour and someone shoplifted an item and
your told you need to pay for it?
