Hours after NASA leader Raila Odinga migrated from Safaricom to Airtel, Siaya residents thronged Airtel shops in the town. They said they have made the decision following Raila's call to boycott Safaricom product, claiming the firm influenced the presidential election.The telecommunications giant has denied claims it was involved in rigging. "Now that we have seen our leader at the Airtel shop, that automatically means Airtel is now the better option and not Safaricom," Onyango Fred said on Monday. Ogolla, another resident, said it would be wise for Safaricom to suspend its services in NASA strongholds as they will incur massive losses.
"I want to assure them that if our routine demonstrations kick off, not even Safaricom boosters and Mpesa kiosks will be spared," he said. Airtel personnel were eager to assist the new customers and gave them gift bags with their purchases. Raila officially migrated his Safaricom line to Airtel on Monday.
