Pundit, whats your take on the cashless matatu system?
« on: December 01, 2014, 09:29:09 PM »
Is it mandatory for each matatu?
Does that mean that Cash will not be accepted?
I thought Notes and coins were legal tender.
Isnt that illigal?

Good idea. As long as they are cheaply available like scartch cards...i do not see any problem. This will help matatu owners keep track of the inflows.

Gov has power to make "laws" and regulation.

Financial sector is one area kenya is so far ahead...and this cashless thing is another step in right direction..to cashless economy,.

I dont think govt should shove this into people's ..... However it should be left to owners to decide. They should give discounts to card users, so as to attract people.
