BOB COLLYMORE DECLARES HIS 'BOBS'

By Alton Acholla

So Safaricom CEO might be having a single bob in his name but his name but his bank account do not share that stat.Yesterday the Englishman decided through declaring his wealth he was doing something against the scourge that is corruption.

A little bit of history about him is that Collymore’s career took off when he joined UK’s Cellnet in 1993, just as the corporate world was starting to venture into mobile telephony and now he heads one of the biggest mobile service providers in Africa,could be a good story for the siverscreen. That's besides the point ,what matters currently is the immense wealth he has accumulated.

Let me break it down for yalls ,Collymore, who has been working for over 30 years, has a residential house in London, UK worth USD530,000 (about Ksh53,000,000), cash balances in local banks worth USD203,000 (about Ksh20,300,000), Safaricom Limited shares worth USD180,000 (about Ksh18,000,000) and Vodafone PLC shares worth USD871,000 (about Ksh87,000,000).

He also declared his dividends and income of USD5,800 (about Ksh580,000) in the last 12 months.
A P1 teacher maybe pushing for a Ksh30,000 salary but the Bob earns 333 times that,year a cool 10 Million Shillings a month (goals).

So next time you are topping up,buy an extra 50 shilling credit at least the guy get a raise ,it would be for a greater good fam!!!!!
