Safaricom’s M-PESA is in the news again, this time a global recognition from GSMA at the Mobile World Congress which ends today. GoK was also awarded for its facilitation role in the spread of broadband in the country. I think congratulations are in order for Dr Ndemo and his team and MJ and the Safcom team.<br>
