$68 billion ni zenye wakenya walipitisha kwa Mpesa. Haimaanishi zote ni revenue ya Safaricom.

204 billion ni revenue ya Safaricom yote (including Mpesa).
Out of that, M-pesa imecontribute Sh55 billion.

The amount of money sent and received through Mpesa in the last 1 year is Sh6.8 trillion, yaani $68 billion.
From this amount, safaricom takes a small fee every time a transaction is made. Hizi small fees ndizo zimefika Sh55 billion.

So many people are employed by Mpesa as agents. Ama unadhani hio $68 billion inapitia kwa hewa tu?
The more transactions are made, the more the agents earn.

Na GDP ya Kenya kwa sasa ni ngapi? 2015 ilikuwa around usd 63bn. I doubt if its more than usd 68bn by now! Given the growth rate of less than 6pct.

Nakuomba tu, ukae kimya. Hauna hoja.

 

[CHAZA]

Nilikua naangalia GDP za nchi mbalimbali nikakuta Tanzania na Kenya zote ziko level moja tu yaani Kenya Dola 164 Billion na Tanzania Dola 163,Billion based on GDP ile ya PPP.
Sasa nikiona mada hii naona ni ugoro mtupu.
