One of the reasons the management of Safaricom is not able to follow through with complaints is because the law does not provide what we should do with these people. If you take them to court, somehow, they are released because the courts do not know what to do with them since there is no law to punish the criminals. That is why they have taken a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
