In Summary
- Safaricom is partnering with Equity Bank to put bank accounts in the hands of mobile phone users.
- Kenya becomes first country in the world to introduce financial transactions system that does not involve a card.
Power struggle
It is not enough for a president to say that his life is in the hands of God. Where possible, the government should give accurate information that will keep the public in the know and prevent unnecessary power struggle among ambitious politicians.
Get well soon, Mr Yar’Adua. Your country needs you.

It is indeed a very welcome innovation particularly from a third world economy.I hope their security systems are fully guarded now that there seems to be Nigerians conmens at every corner of the city ready to prey at any loophole in the system. CONGRATS to Equity,zain + Safaricom partnership.
