[kictanet] The big Kwaheri: reflecting on 10 years on the MJ 10yr safari and his-tory - day 5

[muriuki mureithi]

Fellow listers 

 

This is getting very close from the heart ------ keep them coming ---

 

Joe Mucheru put out a very interesting  hypothesis  and most likely  a fact  that ...’ Safaricom ecosystem has created  thousands of millionaires ‘  as MJ created a US$1 Billion + company in 10 yrs  .....

 

One thing  one may want to understand from your own experience  is whether Safaricom generated new wealth  and then redistributed to create the millionaires cited above, or did the system suck resources from bamba 5’s  and concentrate to  a few? Were there losers in the process?  Were   the bottom of the pyramid part of the equation or lost out?  Think of that guy who was selling airtime  in the streets some years ago,  did the system develop a channel for upward mobility in the value chain?  In other words where is the guy who was selling airtime 10 yrs ago in the streets?

 

If you think so – what should MJ have done to address the situation ......

 

 

 

 

cheers
