That's because William Ruto has entered the competition through a company that recently acquired Zuku and Wananchi Group. Axian Telecom (operating as Yas Group) is owned by Hassanein Hiridjee and his family's Madagascar-based conglomerate, the Axian Group. Hassanein Hiridjee partnered with Rostam Aziz to acquire and expand major telecommunication and digital infrastructure assets in East Africa. In Kenya, Ruto invited his friend Rostam Aziz and Pikap Kutit proxies to the table and they're currently expanding, modernizing and upgrading former Zuku infrastructure around the country, deploying ADSS cables. Just ask property developers in Nairobi about the guerilla war currently going on between internet service providers. In Kenya, Ruto initiated Axian Telecom takeover of Zuku, through Axian AXIAN Telecom Fibre Ltd (Yas), which recently bought a 99.63% controlling equity stake in Wananchi Group Holdings Ltd, the previous owners of consumer broadband brand Zuku and enterprise link Simbanet The Zuku acquisition enables Axian Telecom to deploy its broadband brand, "Yas," to unify its mobile, fintech, and fiber networks across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Malawi. They're planning to launch an enhanced, "competitive" offer in the Kenyan market in the coming future. Safaricom has seen through this plan and had now fashioned this new business warfare using, ironically, Zuku' s former business model called the "the tripple play", which integrated TV, on-net Calls and fibre/ Internet package. Does the name "Rostam Aziz" ring a bell? He's the Tanzanian billionaire tycoon who owns MIC Tanzania PLC (which operated Tigo and Zantel through a strategic consortium with AXIAN Telecom and quickly rebranded as Yas Tanzania). Aziz serves as the Chairman of the local board. President William Ruto personally commissioned Rostam Azizi’s multi-billion-shilling Taifa Gas plant in Mombasa’s Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone in February 2023. Rostam Azizi recently further expanded his influence in Kenya by acquiring a 54.08% controlling stake in the Nation Media Group through Taarifa Ltd. And since you're still reading, presumably: 1. Ponder why there's continued harvesting of trees from Kenyan forests? 2. Why are some Internet service providers in Kenya no longer lease infrastructure from Kenya Power to run fiber optic cables on utility poles? 3. Why are some counties, like Nairobi, not interested in County Wayleave enforcement inv over wayleave fees and missing county approvals? 4. Who will eventually retire happily at the Intona Ranch in Kilgoris after vigorously promoting and budgeting public funds to launch and expand ICT Hubs and Last Mile Internet Connection under the Digital Superhighway program across the country? And now that you're here, why did the Kenyan High Court nullify President William Ruto’s administration's sale of a 15% government stake in Safaricom Plc to Vodacom Group Ltd., ruling the transaction unconstitutional and ordering the shares returned to the state?
