Justnotyou:Well our first business would be to develop the industry...like Ghana has done...not become greedy like Uganda..who nearly 15yrs after oil discovery far from selling their oil.Uganda has merged with laggards Tanzania and everything slowed down.Oil companies will need to put lots of investment in pipeline and terminals..so hopefully Turkana can be a little patient and not sabotage this. 2 Likes |

Safaricom pumps Sh601bn into economy in one year Safaricom injected Sh601 billion into the Kenyan economy in the year ended March 2019, making the telecommunications giant one of the single-biggest contributors to the country’s GDP. The economic contribution came in the form of jobs, value chain opportunities for other businesses, taxes and dividends to shareholders. The telco’s capital expenditure, which stood at Sh37.2 billion in the period, also contributed to the economy through payments to suppliers and contractors. Safaricom says in the self-appraisal that it supported an estimated 979,000 direct and indirect jobs, up from 897,372 in 2017. The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE)-listed company disclosed in its 2019 annual report released Wednesday that its value to the Kenyan economy rose by 11 percent or Sh58 billion in the year from Sh543 billion the previous year. “Our latest True Value Report indicates that the value to the Kenyan society created by Safaricom increased by 11 percent to Sh601 billion, 9.6 times the financial profit the company earned during the same period,” says Safaricom in the annual report. The firm’s operations contributed an equivalent of 6.3 percent of GDP in the period. The growth in the job count came even as other sectors of the economy continued to shed workers, citing a tough economic climate. Shed workers Safaricom’s rival Telkom Kenya Wednesday announced it would lay off 575 staff while beer maker EABL also notified its staff of a redundancy plan that sources indicated would target more than 100 employees. Stanbic Bank is also in the process of exiting an estimated 200 workers. The telco is the largest listed firm on the NSE, with a current market capitalisation of Sh1.099 trillion. The company paid Sh98.13 billion to the government in duties, taxes and licence fees last year, having made gross revenue of Sh250.96 billion and net profit of Sh63.4 billion. “This increased the total duties, taxes and fees paid since inception to Sh698.52 billion,” said Safaricom in the report. The telco’s payout to shareholders for the 2018/19 financial year included a special dividend of Sh0.62 per share, amounting to Sh24.84 billion, which was in addition to the first and final dividend of Sh1.25 per share totalling Sh50.08 billion. The cash will be remitted to the company’s 560,018 shareholders on November 30. Safaricom was founded in 1997 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telkom Kenya, and in June 2008 listed on the NSE where the government offloaded a 25 percent stake to the public. The company had an employee headcount of 6,323 (permanent staff and contract) by the end of March, which was an increase from 6,130 the previous year. They were paid a total of Sh16.93 billion, which included salaries, pension contributions, medical cover, employee performance share awards and other benefits. Thousands of jobs Its mobile money platform M-Pesa also supports thousands of jobs, both directly and indirectly. By the end of March, Safaricom had on its books 167,000 M-Pesa agents, up from 156,000 a year earlier, while the Lipa na M-Pesa merchant count stood at 123,000. The company had 31.8 million customers at the end of March, with 71 percent or 22.6 million of them being active users of the M-Pesa service. Other jobs are derived from indirect activities such as suppliers, airtime dealers, distributors and users of the company’s various products. By easing payments, the mobile money platform has opened up new business avenues in the country, and has also helped increase trade volumes. In the one year to March 2019, Kenyans transacted a total of Sh4.09 trillion through their mobile phones, equivalent to Sh11.19 billion a day. This has contributed significantly to the rapid rise in the number of Kenyans who are accessing formal financial services. According to the 2019 Financial Access (FinAcess) Household Survey done by Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Kenya, Central Bank of Kenya and the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), the proportion of Kenyans accessing financial services has risen to 82.9 percent from 75 percent in 2016 and 27 percent in 2006. Safaricom also banks on its digital platforms for farming (DigiFarm) and healthcare (M-Tiba) to support indirect jobs. The annual report shows that Safaricom had registered one million farmers on the DigiFarm platform by the end of March, with over 300,000 using the service daily and 52,000 having their loans approved for purchase of seeds, fertilisers and pesticides. https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/corporate/companies/Safaricom-pumps-Sh601bn-into-economy-in-one-year/4003102-5218860-yd494nz/index.html 5 Likes |

rvp2018:Kenya should be proactive about it. To me Norway model is the most attractive style any oil producing country can borrow. however, in this regard , Ghana case is also excellent. since oil depit in quantity . Ghana has set up an heritage fund from the sales of oil cash for future generations. ""Ghana’s oil revenue inflow into the Heritage Fund has reached US$585,172,436.04 as at 2018, seven years after the country commenced commercial production of crude oil. The nation’s Petroleum Revenue Management Act (PRMA) 2011, set the Ghana Heritage Fund to save oil revenues for future generations of Ghanaians"" 2 Likes |

samorobo: Don't dare guess it's Ikorodu road in Lagos leading to Apapa. But you like lying, I've been to some of the Nairobi CBD's on several occasions but I have never seen any broken road within precisely upper hill region, what I have seen is just some old roads have been upgraded while new ones being put in place. Meanwhile, a pic section of a road in upper hill that I took with my phone, it even has sidewalks. |

rvp2018:It will interest you that Nigerian governments have dedicated oil revenues into consumption while funds for infrastructure have had to be borrowed at an extra cost . In Nigeria, oil price boom is treated as a permanent shock and every downturn as temporary. All the revenue is for Nigeria to consume; nobody cares about tomorrow, let tomorrow care for itself… kenya can understudy Ghana pattern for this. |

vaxx:sharrap there.... Stop peddling falsehood. There's excess crude account (ECA), that's where we deposit excess oil profit, it was our saviour during d recession, we depleted it from around $15b to less than $5b during recession period, reason we were d first country to exit recession in d world at that time and grow at over 2%, no other country that went into recession is growing over 1% right now! It's meant for complimenting economic affair. We also have sovereign wealth fund which comprises of (i) stabilization fund: for supporting budget (ii) future generation fund and (iii) infrastructure fund. Just sharrap if u know nothing about a particular subject on Nigeria. 2 Likes 1 Share |
