CBA are making money from M-shwari.

This what I had suggest the banks to do about their mobile lending. Classify those as fee and commissions so that they can charge at higher rate.

I fully support this...
Gambling addiction is real.

I'd be honestly surprised if this 50% increase passes. The gambling firms have billions upon billions of shillings, all siphoned from poor starving Kenyans.

The thing is, the MP's know this, and they want a slice of the proceeds (remember Midiwo's bill? Just over a month ago, MP's were "encouraged" to reject it).

I'm not keeping my fingers crossed.

There is need to tax more likes of Mshwari, Sportpesa, Uber -  no other way to fund social services.

KCB should have done everything in its power to win M-akiba secondary market deal. The volume is going to explode soon and providing liquidity is going to be a money minting operation.They lost out on Mshwari equity bank also and now they are scrambling to catch up. http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/markets/news/CBA-beats-KCB-to-mobile-phone-bond-trading-deal/3815534-3886684-fpl8re/index.html

is it the customers who need the push to embrace the digital banking or the brick and mortal bankers?
