One of the richest companies in Kenya that earns approximately Ksh 33 million per hour is Safaricom PLC, the country’s largest telecommunications company. This figure, based on their annual profits, reveals just how massive their operations and influence are in Kenya and the East African region.
Safaricom is best known for its revolutionary mobile money service, M-Pesa, which transformed how Kenyans send, receive, and save money. M-Pesa is now deeply integrated into daily life from paying bills and school fees to buying groceries and accessing loans. This service alone contributes a significant share to Safaricom’s revenue.
Beyond M-Pesa, Safaricom also leads in voice, data, and SMS services, serving millions of customers across the country. The company’s infrastructure, innovation, and investment in customer experience have solidified its place at the top.
What makes Safaricom even more impactful is not just its profits but its contribution to the economy through jobs, technology, and community initiatives. The company invests in health, education, and environmental programs, making it a corporate giant that not only earns billions but also gives back.
