This aired in 2015, fast forward to 2024 this is EXACTLY what's going on in the U.S. today. Why isn't it a VIRAL Video/Complete Documentary? I'm 56 and a 22 year Army Veteran, America has been SO Arrogant over the decades and beyond that something like this brings a Shock factor once we see the Meekness of the Kenyans and Others Within Their Culture. This should be a Super Humbling Moment as the U.S. and the World is changing right in front of our eyes Regarding This Model. Digitization/Tokenization/Trust/Blockchain/ Period!!
And this is the greed the creator of Mpesa was talking about. Kick them out. We are not slaves!!!!

The video is so old
improve on video filming and time
All these American tech companies the Kenyan government allow to come to Kenya are not really investing in Kenyans. They’re exploiting Kenyans. Using weak labor laws in Kenya to get away with modern day slavery.
Tanzania also has M-Pesa, Tigo-Pesa, Airtel-Money etc
Silicon Valley has rulers who make companies pay well.
Kenya is the Silicon Valley of Africa




I strongly assume no legislation or any other measures will be taken to improve anything whatsoever for employees, given the presumption of doing so would scare away potential future employers. History has many precedents of workers suffering under unreasonable circumstances until their labor is scarce and difficult to obtain.
SOMALIA WAS THE FISRTS COUNTRY TO USE MOBILE MONEY TRANSFERS WITH NO CHARGES IN AFRICA
We need to nurture and invest in our people and local companies, enough of the exploitation. The system has failed us, they need to go.
Nothing English or from England,M-Pesa is purely Kenyan and even it's inventor is Kenya from a Kenyan University…
We need laws in place before this virus reaches Somalia
and take our jobs too

You will have to pay attention to us wether you like it or not cause here we come in JESUS CHRIST Name
This report shows how corporations continue to rape Africa by taking its resources and leaving the population poor. While once they took minerals, today they are coopting their brains for Big Tech's resources while leaving Kenyans underpaid.
The Singapore of Aafaf Rayay….
Rooting for Kenya's tech dreams to become a reality! Best wishes, from an American pal……
Americans better wake up… Capitol Hill doesn’t care about us…
No wonder we have millions of "immigrants" from around the world in North America, EXPlOTATION and MANIPULATION by North American is irrefutable! Shame on us!
