Safaricom responds to Kenyan's fear over M-Pesa texts
Earlier, Safaricom, through its official Facebook page, responded to Kenyans' worry following M-Pesa messages with the prefix 'RIP'.

"Oya SafaricomPLC, Mpesa codes cannot begin wit RIP please....rukeni hiyo buana," said journalist Lindah Oguttu.
