Mobile money system is taking over the country. MPESA has the cell phone doing everything on the phone. Buy a cow on your cell phone. People buying the milk pay with a phone. They are using solar power panels for 180 bucks compared to 240 for kerosene a year, and the farmers pay by phone and get credit on their purchase of the solar panel and if he does not pay, they shut off his solar panel by phone. Villagers can get clean water by paying with their phones. These phones are the cheapest made with limited capability. No need for brick and mortar banks, and banking now is all over the nation with mobile money which the banking lobby is fighting. The success of this model could destroy the banking industry as we know it.
