Fellow listers
This is getting very close from the heart ------ keep them
coming ---
Joe Mucheru put out a very interesting hypothesis and most
likely a fact that ...’ Safaricom ecosystem has created thousands of millionaires
‘ as MJ created a US$1 Billion + company in 10 yrs .....
One thing one may want to understand from your own experience is
whether Safaricom generated new wealth and then redistributed to create the
millionaires cited above, or did the system suck resources from bamba 5’s and
concentrate to a few? Were there losers in the process? Were the bottom of
the pyramid part of the equation or lost out? Think of that guy who was
selling airtime in the streets some years ago, did the system develop a channel
for upward mobility in the value chain? In other words where is the guy who
was selling airtime 10 yrs ago in the streets?
If you think so – what should MJ have done to address the
situation ......
cheers
