Kenyan telecommunications giant Safaricom has announced the complete restoration of its network capacity and stability following disruptions caused by undersea cable cuts last Sunday.

"We are happy to inform our customers and stakeholders that we have now resumed full network capacity and stability," stated Safaricom CEO Peter Ndegwa in a statement issued on Thursday Morning.

The disruption impacted some of Safaricom's services, prompting the company to acquire additional capacity from alternative undersea cable providers.

Ndegwa commended his team's efforts, highlighting their "round the clock" work to optimize the network and secure additional resources.

Safaricom says it remains vigilant, closely monitoring their network and collaborating with affected undersea cable suppliers to expedite repair works.
