[kictanet] Digital Financial Inclusion

[Ali Hussein]

Barrack

There are cases where whether or not political will is there it will happen. For example if it were left up to the the Finance Minister of the time, Mpesa would not have seen the light of day..

We are entering a new time where Govt and Regulators must equip themselves with new tools to navigate The New Normal. 

Power is no longer taken by force...it is Orchestrated by players who are given that power by the people in ways we could never have imagined.
