The launch of this dual deal in partnership with Vivo Energy Kenya, will enhance customer value through subsidized operational costs and enhance savings.

We encourage drivers to fill up their tanks at Shell every Saturday to get the best value from this deal.” said Fawzia Ali Kimathi, Chief Consumer Business Officer at Safaricom.

To further enhance safety and security, the proposition includes subsidized insurance covers for drivers and riders from accidents, illness, or loss of income, as well as training on financial literacy and road safety. On financial wellness, Safaricom has rolled out Safire Connect empowerment forums that seek to advance knowledge on entrepreneurship, financial wellness and digital & AI fluency, for communities including riders and drivers.

“Every day we serve millions of Kenyans across our retail network and today we are excited to join an initiative that offers real, everyday value to taxi drivers across the country. This collaboration further enhances our customer experience, making every stop at Shell more rewarding than ever.” said Mr. Peter Murungi, Managing Director, Vivo Energy Kenya.
