[kictanet] CBK seeks linking Lipa na M-Pesa with Airtel

[David Indeje]

It would be interesting to first take stock of how mobile money transfers
has been like since the introduction of interoperability, to determine the
value addition and what could be done differently.

As payments world-wide trends lean towards more open systems, Kenya is
still in its infancy stages when dealing with interoperability and it
remains to be seen how well we transition into more interconnected systems.

*Kind Regards,*
