Near my office in Nairobi’s central business district, there is a bustling mobile money business. It opens early and closes late. There are five “agents”— who mimic bank tellers — on hand at any time to serve customers from booth-like stalls.
I live on Thika Road in an area that has refused to conform to city life. Although I am in Nairobi City County, there is a neighbour who rears cows. There is also a relative scarcity of mobile money shops.
