M-Pesa currently down as Safaricom attributes the outage to scheduled maintenance

M-Pesa is currently unavailable, as the telco attributes the outage to scheduled maintenance.

The service is unavailable on the M-Pesa app, USSD code, and SIM card tool.

A spot check by Capital Business confirmed the downtime in what could see several services brought to a halt.

The situation is likely to jeopardize various transactions since M-Pesa usage is spread across all sectors of the economy.
