Thanks Solomon
Indeed there was an outage on M-PESA last evening whereby the connectivity between the local servers and the database in Germany temporarily failed. This was resolved last evening and apologies for the inconvenience
From a technical stand-point the statement above can be easily interpreted as a technically flawed design IMHO. It almost states that
<rant> the M-PESA services are "entirely" dependent on connectivity to Germany. I doubt if this is the case and you may want to clarify. If it is the case - i have to say its quite a challenge on your hands to provide an efficient service for a local service that depends on international connectivity. </rant> Michuki.
