From venturing into Pay TV,insurance…A story is told in Kenya of how a Kenyan was robbed off his billion dollar idea that is todays Mpesa.The brain child/think tank is said to have approached Safaricom executives who turned him away saying his idea couldn’t be done only for them to launch the service a few months later.Thats the story on every Kenyan lips.However,a new book reveals that a senior Vodafone employee conceived M-Pesa in 2003. 
Wakenya ni kama hawafaidiki na ubunifu wa M-Pesa ambao ndio unaiweka Kenya kwenye ramani ya dunia kama kituo cha ubunifu. ....Ukiwa na MPESA, faragha yako hailindiw.
