[kictanet] help? contacts on M-PESA and mobile currencies in africa

[warigia bowman]

Dear colleagues,

My American colleague at Brookings posed the following question.

"I've been playing around in digital currencies, and wanted to chat about
M-PESA, and other mobile-based currencies, with a particular eye to how the
governments of East Africa may respond. I'm also curious how closely tied
mobile devices are to personal identities--is is easy to move funds through
safaricom, for example, without having it tied to a particular person? Do
you know anyone who might be willing to have a quick chat, or answer a few
email questions? Any help you can offer would be great."

Can anyone assist?

Yours, Rigia
