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

[kanini mutemi]

This I am on board with. Mobile money is a distinct and separate service
from the services a mobile network operator would normally provide.
Requiring a Safricom SIM Card in order to access MPESA (the full range of
service i.e.) has always been some form of tying. Anti-competitive
behaviour when a dominant company uses its influence in one market to gain
advantage in a second market however closely related.
