The government is pushing for interoperability among digital financial service providers to encourage the adoption of cashless transactions.
This is according to the latest Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) policy document detailing new proposals that could significantly affect banks, mobile telecommunication firms and financial technology firms (fintechs) operating in the country.
“Though the industry moved to enable interoperability of mobile wallets in 2018, this is limited to only person to person (P2P) payments, and is yet to be expanded to both merchant and agent interoperability and even to work seamlessly at P2P,” explains the CBK in the draft report dubbed Kenya National Payments System 2021-2025.

With the recent announcements of vaccines to the Covid-19 pandemic, the world is staring through their dark tunnel to get a glimpse of the light.

Tragically, our sails have also been ripped apart by forces closer to home: mismanagement and corruption. The resultant widespread poverty misrepresents the true potential and hope which lies within our educated people, fertile soils, and blessed lands.
