Safaricom has decided to postpone a planned system maintenance that was originally scheduled from 11 p.m. on Sunday, July 14, to 4 a.m. the following Monday. This maintenance would have affected several key services including Lipa na M-PESA, Paybill and Buy Goods services, International Money Transfer (Western Union), M-PESA Global, the M-PESA App, and the mySafaricom App will be intermittent.
In its statement announcing the postponement of the exercise, Safaricom noted that the decision was informed by major sporting activities planned for this weekend.
“We hear you, and we value your feedback. The scheduled system maintenance later this evening has been rescheduled to a later date to allow you to enjoy a worry-free M-Pesa on this sport-packed evening,” Safaricom stated, much to the relief of its clients who would have been impacted by the outage on an action-packed weekend.
