You're arguing with someone who just google stuff and try to string up an intelligent argument of stuff he never heard before. So he ask me which British betting company have come after sportpesa trailblazing mobile betting model worked; and seem he has now googled and discoverd BetIn,BetWay and 15 in Ghana.

My question was about British companies in Kenya; Ghana is not in Kenya.     I don't know why  :D, but, yes, it did occurr to me that Google might give me a better answer than RV Pundit.   

Perhaps a SportPesa is a "trailblazer" in mobile betting in Kenya.   But in the rest of the world?   Do some "google stuff" on that.  (And note that the issue is that of SportPesa going out and bringing "loads of money to Kenya".)

There is no doubt when M-pesa revolution is finally over it will have truly transformed our society and Kenya is very lucky to be the early adopter of this tech.

Look at remittance - we are now learning that diaspora prefer m-pesa over traditional remittance companies ---and that is huge market for mobile money - in kenya and the rest of developing market.

It has certainly transformed Kenya, and nobody is arguing about that.     As for the rest of the world, including developing countries, I think the facts speak for themselves.

Bulgarian Mafia:

Interesting characters.   I did some "google stuff" on just one of them.    He has a professional entry, with photo, on LinkedIn (which I "confirmed" by sending InMail):

Employment history:Education:Volunteer Experience & Causes:

Except for the high school, which is not named, all of the above seem to be accurate.  Nowhere can one say he has lied.  Oh, I'm not sure I know  what "turnalent" is.    :D   Anyways ... seems a bit sketchy for a CEO's CV, even taking into account the "limitations" of LinkedIn.

Nyakundi seems to be into cutting and pasting and then passing it off stuff as the result of his own investigative labour ...  Never mind, here is the article on which he has applied scissors and glue on this one:

Seem Paul Wanderi Ndugu -the guy who made money as Safaricom dealer -is the major shareholder. A brilliant bussinessman.
As for why they invested in UK's PL
