Good People, Safaricom¹s 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. http://www.cio.co.ke/index.php/view-all-main-stories/603-m-pesa-scoops-an-aw ard-for-the-best-mobile-money-service-globally-.html http://www.cio.co.ke/index.php/view-all-analysis-items/602-kenya-honoured-le ts-learn-to-celebrate-our-successes.html Kindest regards Harry African eDevelopment Resource Centre eDevelopment House : : 604 Limuru Road Old Muthaiga : : P O Box 49475 00100 Nairobi : : Kenya T +254 20 3741646/7 : : C +254 725 650044 Training : : Research: :Consultancy: : Publishing
