1. Given its size, how much it contributes to the treasury in terms of taxes.
2. The amount of dividends it pays each year to its shareholders and how that impacts on the economy
3. Given its financial strength, Safaricom is engaging in many socioeconomic activities/projects throughout the country, touching thousands if not millions of lives in ways you cannot imagine. It can't do this if it didn't have that kind of market capitalization
4. Their capital and operational expenditure stimulates additional employment which in turn benefits suppliers. The multiplier effect of this benefits the broader economy.
5. About 170,000 people depend directly on safaricom for employment. This is besides hundreds of thousands others who depend on the company indirectly.
