Michael, That is a very smart thinking. To add to the cost of withdrawal, people living upcountry sometimes spend on transport to access M-Pesa services. Maybe Safaricom could create an SMS system where shareholders could choose whether they want to be paid in cash OR equivalent in form of airtime.

Hi all:
just wondering: would it make more sense for safaricom to just 'sambaza' airtime amounts equivalent to the dividend payments for those with less than say 2,000 shares (which translates to a dividend of khss 200), as i believe this would save them (shareholders) from having to incur the MPESA transaction fees of Kshs 30?
what do others think?
thanks.
