Being that there are two ways that u know doesnt mean that those are the only ways and there can never be another way. People come up with ideas daily.

Secondly, I haven't come across anyone whose forehead is written "Honest" so a business man will jump into every if not any opportunity that they perceive would be profitable to them. To them, they are thinking of how they will do away with that extra tout, honest or not.

Just a question, do u like having cash in your wallet? do u feel safe with it walking on Kirinyaga road? Most people I know would rather have Mpesa. Look at how those matatus that go to Nyeri Meru (Tea room) operate.

No gov has forced anyone to use any platform the regulations that have been set were formulated by the sector together with the gov. Safcom and Equity are just early birds catching worms. Those other laggards will complain later.

This is interesting! Some diasporans in Britain must've lied to me that the economy there is largely cashless. That they only use cards. That it's used by intelligence guys to track people...@drunkard/rollout ako wapi? He once said mpesa sounds great to us here in dusty Africa because we use cash. According to him the yanks are cashless. I'm confused

Largely cashless doesn't mean ban cash. Using cards doesn't mean creating a law that says never use cash. You would see riots in these so called digital countries.

This is an issue of the rights of a citizen to transact with what he has available and what he feels right for him.

If you ask me, digital Kenyans are just plain crazy. Why would you want anyone holding your information in one card just to prove that you are developed?

Gov't largess is when they want you to have cards for everything you do. Your ID to have all the information including your birthright, the property you own, girls you slept with etc.

What IT guys in Kenya don't understand is that this is already possible. But these "developed" citizens have refused gov't interference in their lives and will fight it.

No right thinking person would every allow gov't to be in control of ALL the information. I don't trust njumbiree as far as I can throw it. So now they will know what time I entered the bus to see my gashungwa in Meru?

Now we are starting with entering public buses with a technology that Google is still testing.

Hii ndio ubeberu mambo leo.

This country won't die if some of us, are allowed to use cash to enter buses.

But it shall surely die when we allow gov't to dictate how citizens spend their money and at what time and format.

The biggest lie to say that you thought that the rest of the world only uses cards. That's a big lie even the movie you watched last night proves that you're a liar.

Well,in that case I went digital long ago when began paying fare by mpesa 2 yrs ago.
Have always held the notion that,as long a there is no law on the acceptable mode of payment in public vehicle then any means of transaction is acceptable and refusal to accept my money by the crew should not be my wahala.
Never faced any opposition,some have let me travel free.
