[kictanet] Safaricom used backdoor to shutdown bitcoin?

[Ahmed Mohamed Maawy]

Exactly Ali,

A number of countries have pride in their successful businesses. Ethiopians
pride themselves with their Airlines network (and important to note that
Kenya used to have pride in its Pride of Africa when it was a kick-ass
Airline network with a tight focus on efficiency and its commitment to
quality). Examples of this are quite a number.

There's a problem somewhere when the flag-bearer of a world innovation like
M-Pesa has its very local customers and innovators being half hearted about
it.

We need to be better than this.
