  1. Just a few months until Telkom is in debts more than kenya… with no changes in services. R.I.P in advance Telkom Kenya 😢

  2. Aldo should have stayed a little longer. Telkom had turned around and was begining to be the “better option” for many.

  3. It’s sad that Aldo Mareuse is leaving. His accomplishments in under 2 years surpass all the other CEOs combined that the company has had before. He ought to have stayed a little longer. It’s unfortunate that 2 years from now someone else will claim success out of Aldo’s sweat.
