When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you should do is stop digging!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

And some arguments are very pedestrian and 1980s at best! That is why this discussion/argument will never end coz some fellows are stuck in the 80s! Uber is the biggest company in the world. Do you really take rides in cabs they own? Amazon (and the likes of eBay and alibaba) is the biggest market space in the world. How much of the inventory do they own? YouTube is one of the biggest "media companies" in the world. How much of the content do they create or own?? I can go on and on and on. See a common thread here?? Technology!!! Ati the money being disbursed doesn't belong to Safaricom!? So what?? It is actually genius!! By leveraging on technology, they are actually making money from someone else'seems money!! Next you will tell us Uber is not the biggest taxi company (and are not making money???) based on the number of cabs they own (or don't own!!) Welcome to the 21st century! Google which age we are in. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Welcome to the 21st century! Google which age we are in. Heck!!! Safaricom mints billions from Mpesa! Whose money do they use? Why do you think Mpesa agents keep telling you they have no "float"??? Bacause Safaricom leverages on their money to make billions. That is how we do in the knowledge age!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Welcome to the 21st century! Google which age we are in. Wacha kuchizi my fren. Lending money and uber are very different. When lending, there is something called defaults. It matters alot whose money is being lent and who suffers the default. In case of Safcom, they charge fees while providing a portal for CBA to lend. A zero risk sittuation for Safaricom. They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G. Massey.

That is what would make them geniuses!! Thanks for getting the argument (without really getting it!!). Remember we were talking about Safaricom's innovation and making money. Focus.

And same applies to Uber. They don't bear the risks of vehicle breakdowns, accidents, driver not showing up for work, financing etc. Is these stuff really that difficult for you to grasp??? Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Is these stuff really that difficult for you to grasp??? You are beyond help. I have no problem with Safaricom making money via mobile loans. My issue is BANKS lending MY MONEY and yours ( deposits) to high risk populations in an unregulated enviroment where any event that causes mass defaults ( black swan event) may mean that I lose MY MONEY. I hope you can finally get it, but I wont hold my breathe. They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G. Massey.

It could be considered gambling but then all companies which borrow expecting to pay from the proceeds of their business would also be considered to be gamblers.

You should rephrase your question if you needed to know who borrowed the entire 8bn..l suppose that would include hawkers, thieves, gamblers, business people, drunkards, priests etc.. I leave generalizations to you.

Got a call from Okash (didn't even know what Okash is, caller had to clarify it is a mobile loan App like TALA.)
So someone borrowed a mobile Okash loan and put me as a 'Referee' and the person is not repaying the loan or picking the calls so they call me. Looks like the mobile App loans people are calling friends & relatives of loan defaulters as a tactic to recover their bad loans...Told the caller off and She hanged up..so rude.

How jua kali is this one? Did you sign? No, did not sign nothing. The borrower using the App just lists friends/family and their contacts...without their consent. Other than terrorising with calls/SMS there is no way Okash can recover this money from 'referees'
