Kenyan agents generate largest number of transactions but with lowest profit margins due to intense competition.

MPesa agents increased by 30% in the last 12 months to 115,015
MPesa customers up 20% over the last 12 months, up 23% in no of transactions.
Though just 17% of agents are not profitable; a sizeable 42% plan to change the business in a year's time

This was expected....just like simu ya jamii.

Let me quote a fella:-

Kenyan style of doing business.
Wise Guy: Chameleons can make money (Bright Idea)
Wise Guy: Chameleons make money (Implementation)
Wise Guy: Money from chameleons (Fame Moment)
Greed Cats: Money to chameleons (copy-cat)
Greed Cats: More money given to chameleons (copy-cat)
Greed cats: Money eaten by chameleons (copy-cat)

Alone and quiet, you can enjoy watching a chameleon change color as it moves. However, when a crowd gathers, the chameleon maintains one color and the elegant walk changes to a dash for safety.

Key phrase: "Elegant Walk"

Late nighties guys went into car importation.
Current situation -a car yard everywhere. Some are still making profits though.

The same with the I.T. industry. Kila kijana ni fundi. Unless one specializes one is doomed. That's why I don't operate a cyber-cafe


"Innovation is key. Innovation is key. Sit quietly at night and go over the activities in the industry of your choice. You will notice a gem which no one is interested in mining. Be it construction, oil, airline, I.T., accounting, medicine,music, etc.

There is a gem for every person born on earth. Few want to touch the dirt and mud in the mine-field.

There is a virgin 'enterprise' for every creature on earth." @muhiandungu (Life Coach).

Pun was intended I hope with your last statement,right?True @Coolbull has nailed it,we are a copy-paste nation...very few original ideas,we need to have our schools train people to think outside the box.
