On the evening of Saturday 8th December 2018, Kenyans who rely on Mpesa for money transactions were left stranded and helpless due to massive blackout which was experienced across the country.

Mpesa users could not send or receive money, pay via Lipa Na Mpesa nor even buy credit or any other related service from Mpesa.

Safaricom which owns the mobile money transfer utility acknowledged the outage and promised to resolve the matter.

On the following day Sunday, the biting issues had been resolved but Kenyans who had enough of the breakdown were unforgiving.

Safaricom later confirmed the issues had been resolved and apologized to its customers.

Check out some of the savage trolls

I have never been Embarrassed like Today. I have shopped and when I walk to the Cashier to pay Via MPESA, ati MPESA Currently UNAVAILABLE. What the Hell!! Yaani siku hizi ni kukatiwa Reggae bila Notice? πŸ™„

This is Just what Monopoly can do to you. MPESA is making People sleep hungry today. I believe this is a good motivation to check other Networks too. Walevi hubeba pesa kwa simu ndio zisiibwe wataitwa Wakora. pic.twitter.com/e6X4NkfiiZ

Mpesa is down, let’s pray for gentlemen held hostage in bars across the country in Kenya who put their faith in lipa na Mpesa.

Even those who had zero balance now having a fields day to play those asking them for money😁

This over dependence on Mpesa for everything is just ruining me. I went to the ATM and I had to stop for few minutes trying to remember ATM pin. #MpesaDown

Hello @SafaricomPLC, I bought fuel for my new Toyota V8 at 1915HRS and MPESA transactions are not going through. Nimekaa kwa petrol station kama vile watu wa nduthi hutegea customers. Aibu gani hizi?😒
