We are the leading telecommunication company in East Africa.
Our purpose is to transform lives by connecting people to people, people to
opportunities, and people to information.
We keep over 42 million customers connected and play a
critical role in the society, supporting over one million jobs both directly
and indirectly while our total economic value was estimated at KES 362 Billion
($ 3.2 billion) for the 12 months through March 2021.
We are listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) and
with annual revenues of close to KES 298 Billion ($2.5 billion) as at March
2022.
We were founded in 1997 as a fully owned subsidiary of
Telkom Kenya before a 40 percent acquisition by Vodafone Group PLC in
May 2000, and a public offering of 25 percent shares through the NSE in 2008.
Under the management of Vodafone Group PLC, we welcomed Michael Joseph, as our
first CEO, a few months later in July of 2000.
He led the company’s growth to accommodate 16.71 million
subscribers from the previous 20,000, largely owing to innovative products like
M-PESA in 2007.
