Nairobi, Kenya
M-Pesa services were on Saturday evening disrupted countrywide.
This caused great disappointment to thousands of Kenyans who rely on the ‘phone wallet’ for their daily transactions.
In a statement Safaricom explained that the outage was caused by database degradation and engineers were working to store service.
“We regret to notify our customers and partners that M-Pesa services are currently unavailable due to a database degradation leading to loss of the service,” read part of the statement.
As of 11:59PM on Saturday, M-Pesa was still down.
However, Safaricom apologised for the inconvenience, saying there will be an update as soon as the service is available again.
