The pitfalls of Innovation moving faster than Regulation - The case of Safaricom and Lipisha
by Ali Hussein 28 Nov '15

28 Nov '15

Listers Did we miss this unfolding precedence setting battle? In brief:- Safaricom has been sued by two mobile money service providers for suspending their services through alleged intimidation. Lipisha Consortium Limited and Bitpesa Limited Friday went to court over termination of their services on November 12. The pair offers a platform for businesses that enables them to collect, process and integrate payments from customers and clients using mobile money. Read on:- http://www.nation.co.ke/business/Mobile-money-providers-sue-Safaricom-for-s… My questions and comments:- 1. Is Safaricom correct in shutting down a service without notice to protect its brand? Your guess here is as good as mine. 2. The legality or otherwise of bitcoins seems to be the main bone of contention here. Here's an opinion from Wikipedia on the treatment of bitcoins in various countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country 3. Did the CBK ask Safaricom to shut down the service or is Safaricom acting unilaterally because of point 1 above? 4. How do we protect the innovation ecosystem in the region from such happenings? This may well be a legitimate case of a startup that didn't do its homework regarding the regulatory framework in the space it chose to play in. According to Rosemary Kimwatu, a Legal Officer in the Tech Fin sector:- "The main problem Bitpesa faces is that cryptocurrency operate from an unrecognised payment system. The position by CBK on Bitcoins is that it's a currency that operates outside the purview of the normal payments system and can therefore not be monitored in regards to Money Laundering. A payment system/platform needs to work within a recognized payment system because then funds origination and destination can be tracked. Bitcoins however are not from the banking system so how will one know if someone is not using it to clean up illegally obtained funds?" Good and solid arguments. My only problem with that argument is that innovation is almost always ahead of regulation. And Safaricom, of all organizations should know better than to behave like this. I fully understand the situation they are in and I can imagine the legal heads at Safaricom working overtime to 'contain' a potential mine field situation that can contain its core Mpesa System. I however believe that a softer approach could have had a better effect. My humble opinion:- Safaricom needs a better approach than the ones they take handling potential Frenemies. The case of Equitel is still fresh in our minds. The narrative is going against them and they need to manage this. The current scenario paints them as a Bully intent on crushing any potential threat to their payment platform. They are better than this. However Rosemary has a different argument:- "The whole thing is bad for innovation but the battle should be with the regulator not Safaricom. It would be in everyone's interest if CBK was forced to deal with change but this won't happen if the Bitcoin guys fight Safaricom. They have to deal with it in the right way by facing the regulator head on and proving how secure their system is in regards to Anti Money Laundering (AML) by showing how it has been done in other countries." Can't argue with that.. 5. A few day ago I talked about the Angani issue. Here's another compelling issue to add on to our bucket list of helping and growing the Startup space in our region - Compliance with Regulation. It's become such a major component of institution building that we can't play 'Pata-Potea' (loosely translated as gambling) with it anymore. #TechRoundTable, are you listening?

Broadcasting and Telecommunications PS
by Ali Hussein 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Listers This one is for the new CS of ICT and PS of ICT & Innovation. Congrats both of you. I know that you have the interest of the community and country at large. I would like to humbly request you to quickly bring the new PS of Broadcasting & Telecommunication into the community. His is an inbox over flowing with major issues that will affect us for years to come. I’d request (again, humbly) to bring him up to speed with such subjects as:- 1. Dominance in the Telco space 2. Net Neutrality 3. Kenya’s space in trailblazing Policy, Innovation and Regulation in the Global Arena. Lastly, we hope that you will reverse the almost non-existent engagement with the community perpetuated by the outgoing regime. You guys don’t need Karibu. You are a part of us.

How to destroy value and the Ecosystem at Silicon Savannah
by Ali Hussein 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Listers I'm sure by now most of us have read about the goings on at Angani. There has been a very loud and noticeable silence on this list regarding this issue. I suspect mainly because many of us know the protagonists and possibly also (at least I'd like to believe) that this list has become more responsible on what we all write and share. However I think we must be very vocal for the right reasons. Through out all this unfolding events two key constituents seem to have been almost forgotten:- 1. The Customer 2. The Community (or ecosystem if you will) In my own small way, I'm standing to be counted for the above. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-destroy-value-ecosystem-silicon-savannah… *Ali Hussein* *Hussein & Associates* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.

Access to Information Bill makes quiet progress
by Barrack Otieno 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

In Summary - Whereas governments are entitled to secrets, most developing democracies abuse this privilege to declare anything and everything a ‘state secret’ in order to suppress, control or simply misinform the citizenry. - But more importantly, rather than just releasing historical information, the Bill empowers any citizen to request any contemporary information held by state and private entities and expect a response within three weeks. http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/walubengo/-/2274560/2969520/-/xlyx8… -- Barrack O.

Coming Soon: Free Internet to Rural Areas (There is never a free ride)
by Ali Hussein 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Listers I'm really concerned about the continued silence of the Regulator regarding Zero-Rating of certain services bundled by telcos in this country in partnership with the big boys and girls of the Internet. Are we not clear how this continued silence and tacit approval of this practice that had basically been outlawed in their home countries is going to impact our nascent Internet economy? http://www.nation.co.ke/business/Free-Internet-to-rural-areas/-/996/2960730… We deserve some action from the Communication Authority.

Agency sets Sh250m minimum capital for Konza city investors
by Ali Hussein 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Listers Interesting article in the Business Daily today. IN SUMMARY Investors eyeing space at Konza Techno City will be required to raise between Sh250 million and Sh2.6 billion for various projects earmarked for phase one, a document from Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) indicates. Investors are also required to focus on technology, engineering and innovation projects, with the demands meant to lock out land speculators. The expression of interest will close on January 30, 2016 after which evaluation of the bids will be undertaken, setting the stage for investment flows starting next year. This is laudable and commendable. I'm however looking for incentives and push for the local companies & startups who may not have the millions to invest in the real estate but are brimming with ideas and enthusiasm.

Compliance in the Telco Sector - The case of MTN
by Ali Hussein 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Listers This is an interesting case of a regulator finally swinging into action after a former finance minister was kidnapped and the authorities couldn’t trace the sim cards used in the crime. When Nigeria failed to trace owners of SIM cards used by kidnappers of a prominent politician in September, it was the final straw for the west African country after what it called a string of violations by telecoms firm MTN Group. Africa’s biggest mobile phone company was given a $5.2 billion penalty by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) last month after the South African company failed to cut off users with unregistered SIM cards from its network. Nigeria has been pushing industry players to verify the identity of their subscribers on worries that unregistered SIM cards were being used for criminal activity in a country facing Islamic militant group Boko Haram’s insurgency.
