Sweet Valentine’s for Mombasa Hotelier after Winning 3-Bedroom Apartment in Safaricom’s Lipa Na M-Pesa Promotion

Safaricom has awarded the fourth winner of a three-bedroom apartment in the ongoing Lipa Na M-Pesa promotion. Salma Salim Mohammed, a hotelier and receptionist at the Sarova Whitesands, Mombasa is the new homeowner of the three bedroom apartment located in Riruta, Nairobi.

“I am a loyal  Lipa Na M-Pesa customer which sees me frequenting outlets that accept payment through the service as it saves me from the hassle of walking around with cash. In my wildest dreams, I have never pictured myself winning in any promotion and I am glad that for the first time in my life, I have won such an amazing prize as a house,” said Salma.

Salma who is married with a five year old child had been previously working in Rwanda before moving back to Kenya in 2019 with her current employer.
