Some of us are old enough to remember when @safaricomplc had 70% market share and was being accused of dominance (monopoly) by the Communications Authority (then CCK) in 2011… Which then magically disappeared. 2011 article: capitalfm.co.ke/business/2011/… Safaricom in their own

“When MJ (@safaricomplc) was asked about Mpesa he said he is not targeting the bank's clientele; he was simply targeting what the banks then described as the unbankable…. ….Today, Starlink is also serving the unserved and undeserved in the digital world of connectivity.”

One of the reasons Morara Kebaso Snr strategy is brilliant is that these are public projects anyone can see. But even better is that you can go to the old news media and find the truth of its “launch” by government officials so the waste and theft can’t be denied. 😂

This is perfect representation of the old and common trope that IMF loans are “wasteful” or “reckless” This totally misses the larger point that the true purpose of these loans is to push political influence, shape economic policy, create debt traps, and reinforce USD dominance
