Safaricom has dropped former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ally John Ngumi as its board chairman, six months after he took charge of East Africa’s most profitable company, in a fresh board shake-up seen to align the firm with the new administration.

The telco on Thursday revealed the resignation of Mr Ngumi, a career banker as a director of the company and chairman from December 22.
