According to Matthew Harrison-Harvey, the company’s chief external affairs and regulatory officer, in an interview with Capacity media in March, 9 April marked nine months since Safaricom was awarded its 15-year licence. That was intended to be the launch date, he said in an April-May issue of the magazine.

The magazine also reads that “Safaricom Ethiopia has spent $1 billion so far of its planned $8.5 billion spend over 10 years. “Everyone knows the size of the project.” The company has spent money on infrastructure, including data centres (pictured).

A year after launch, the service should be available to 25% of Ethiopia’s population. “It’s a national licence with national coverage obligations,” said Harrison-Harvey in the interview.”
