companies then, but today they are more of ICT companies than they are traditional telcos (read voice providers). </span></div>

<blockquote type="cite"><span>it looks like that's what the consultant is suggesting.</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>Here are two other excerpts from the report that I find interesting:-</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>The most draconian of the prescriptions is the proposal to functionally</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>separate M-Pesa from Safaricom. This is tantamount to proposing a break-up</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>of Safaricom because in terms of growth revenues, M-Pesa is on track to</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>reach 50 per cent of the company’s net revenues. The consultants have also</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>proposed what they call “mandatory wallet-to wallet interoperability”, a</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>system where a consumer can keep cloud accounts across the platforms of</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>different mobile companies, making it possible to move and shift money</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>between accounts as one chooses.</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>I have said before and I'm happy to repeat this again. Separating M-Pesa</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>from Safaricom should not be forced on Safaricom. In my humble opinion</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>Safaricom should by now have done this voluntarily as a strategic imperative</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>to transform itself into the De-Facto National (Regional) Mobile Payment</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>System. I think the lost opportunity here can be seen by the KBA launching a</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>rival Mobile Platform called PesaLink.</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>The mandatory 'Wallet to Wallet' interoperability is an interesting angle</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>and needs to seriously be considered. This sort of compliments my point</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>above.</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>They have also recommended a system that they call “agent to agent</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>interoperability”, where agents will be able to support multiple mobile</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>money platforms using what is described in technical language as “a single</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>float”.</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>This is certainly interesting. In as much as this supports the notion of</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>'User or Customer Experience' I think the Regulator and the Telcos should</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>work towards ensuring this becomes a reality. In essence this could be a</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>solution to the allegations that Safaricom discourages its agent network</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>from dealing with rival Telcos.</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>Lastly, I would largely concur with Jaindi Ksero's conclusion (sort of) that</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>the Consultant has displayed a lack of knowledge in the functioning of our</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>national payments system. I would however like to add one for the road:-</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>Are our Regulators (CA, CAK and CBK) prepared to empower, grow and regulate</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>with a light touch the seemingly fluid Telco, Banking, Payments and Fintech</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>Spaces while ensuring that:-</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>a) They embrace innovation and new thinking while protecting National</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>Interests and consumers at the same time?</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>b) They work together without resorting to Turf Wars as evidenced in the</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>tiff between the CA and the CAK in 2015.</span><br>
