NAIROBI, KENYA: Safaricom has dismissed 58 employees over involvement in fraudulent activities in its fiscal year ending March 2015.
Apart from the dismissals, there were 13 disciplinary warnings and four cases reported to the relevant authorities.
"It is pleasing to note that the overall number of cases dropped during the year," read the report.
In January this year, Safaricom contracted a South African firm Ethics Institute of South Africa to measure the ethical environment within Safaricom.
"We are pleased to report that the survey has become even more representative with 77 per cent of all Safaricom employees (3,474) participating in the survey, up from 44 per cent in 2012," says the report.
Ethics regulation at Safaricom is that all members of staff should attend training sessions on ethics at least once a year: "In the past two years, we have been able to achieve a 94 percent attendance rate. Most of the training was done through face-to-face sessions and backed by e-learning courses."
