Una bahati i lost money to a till between them and @Coopbankenya till today they have never found or communicated to their client who has to authorise my reversal.
SAFARICOM’S LIPA NA MPESA REVERSAL RACKET: A CONSUMER PROTECTION CRISIS
It’s a textbook case of @Safaricom_Care’s systematic discrimination against individual consumers in favour of their merchant “partners.”
A query logged, from Saturday, under ticket 1-768PZBGH and a reversal request UEG514VMT7 — both met with stalling language and indefinite timelines.
Safaricom treats individual consumers as second-class users while merchants (Paybill and Till holders) enjoy near-sovereign protection. The 72-hour reversal window is not a technical necessity — it is a deliberate float arrangement that allows merchants to transact with a consumer’s disputed funds while the “process” runs.
The Till 803253 Racket: This particular till exposes the conspiracy plainly:
✅Claims to operate “auto-banking” — a convenient fiction
✅Maintains reversal funds only between 8am–1pm and 2pm–5pm - and only if called by Safaricom. They can’t initiate the reversal
✅Outside those windows, the merchant simply pleads no funds
✅Safaricom knows this pattern, does nothing
Safaricom’s inaction constitutes potential violations of:
✅Consumer Protection Act, 2012 — unfair commercial practices
✅Kenya Information & Communications Act — failure of consumer redress obligations
✅Competition Act — abuse of dominant market position
✅@CBKKenya (where Gov Kamau Thugge is sleeping on the job) Mobile Money Regulations — reversal timelines and consumer protection duties
The Smoking Gun: Safaricom will not lock or restrict non-compliant tills or paybills. That is more than incompetence — that is a policy choice protecting revenue-generating merchants at the consumer’s expense. This must stop. It will stop soon, @PeterNdegwa_ @MoICTKenya @honkabogo @CAK_Kenya

Set a reminder for our upcoming Space! xitter.gq/i/spaces/1yJAPMXqaByGb
Someone saw the page visit metrics and decided to monetize it 🤣
Its appalling to imagine 🤣 How was the proposal document looking? What was in it? 🤣 It was approved by an AO? 🤣
So Singapore will have an AdSense account ama watatoa ads wapi? Labda kuna system ya hio kazi 🤝
Kenya’s eCitizen platform will now introduce ads alongside official government announcements in its latest upgrade.

Hmm interesting to note.
@alexmwanzo @BobMainaMagari @SpaceYaMagari we need to talk about this next Monday on Space Ya Magari.
For a long time, we have been receiving calls from many potential car buyers asking if we can help them source clean cars.
To uphold fairness and integrity, we often decline because our role is inspection, not selling cars.
However, a thought crossed our minds… what if we inspected cars from different yards and posted those that score 7/10 on our website?
To remain fair and transparent, we will not charge for this. It will simply be a platform where buyers can view cars that have passed our inspection.
The buyer will contact the seller directly not us. Also no mark ups.
Ours is to offer a platform.
On the website, buyers will have access to a very detailed inspection report and a video showing exactly how the inspection was carried out.
This means that instead of referring a buyer to just one yard, they can visit the site and view multiple cars from different yards that have already been inspected.
You can’t get more transparent than that.
Still seems to irritate a few quacks.
If you own a car yard and would like us to carry out inspections in your yard, reach us on 0729 686 646.
