I agree. No need to re-invent the wheel and develop an M-whatsapp for Kenya. Better to solve the real problem which is payment processing Regards, Harry Karanja Sent from my iPad On Nov 29, 2012, at 3:22 PM, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:
Hi,
This is an opportunity for the developers in Kenya, all you need is an application that will accept an mpesa payment and then use either a paypal account or debit/credit card to do the dollar payment.

The problem is that this product was not made for this part of the world. A clone of this localised for easy payment with Mpesa and the same functionality if not better could do wonders.
The Vital component in my view is the use of the phone no. as the key, populating the list with your phonebook contacts and not forcing the creation of accounts and filling profiles.

Consider how many student hold this card and yet spend 300shillings copying notes from scribd and slideshare or rather printing them yet they can subscribe for 500 or less shillings per month and download as much as they can. All am saying is that it is no good for banks to withhold information from its customers. Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android
