@hisah, the KES has to be defended at all costs, atleast so they can manage/bring down the $2B Eurobond interest payments. That's their priority no.1.

Ashante!

Now, international organizations, tax-exempt billion-dollar foundations, and crony capitalist businesses and banks have banded together in an unholy alliance with national governments and their central banks in the drive toward a “cashless society.”

One of the key initiatives promoted by the Alliance is to induce governments of developing countries to deliver welfare electronically. Thus according to the Alliance’s website, “When using cash, shifting humanitarian aid and emergency relief to electronic payments creates lasting benefits for people, communities and economies and is more transparent and efficient.” Currently featured on the Alliance’s website is a blog entry entitled “Is Cash the Enemy of Financial Inclusion” as well as a webinar recording ”E-payments Deliver 15% Greater Costs Efficiencies in Kenya – Is This The Future of Food Assistance? plan ” This initiative seems to be making headway in the developing world. In 2012 Nigeria began phasing in a plan to go completely cashless. On July 1, 2014 the final phase of the plan was implemented.
