gambling and fuliza nation

wrongturn

Elder Lister

Kenyans spent Sh83.2 billion to place bets in the six months to September through Safaricom’s M-Pesa platform alone, underlining the gambling craze that has become a national pastime.



CBK data shows that of the 11.42 million bank account holders who accessed loans last year, 95.34 per cent used the money for personal expenses.

However, this data relates to bank lending alone, which does not fully capture the extent of borrowing by Kenyans.

The data leaves out the many loans advanced by shylocks, unregulated digital lenders and others.

Increased borrowing

Increased internet connectivity has seen an explosion of unregulated digital lenders that provide easy access to loans with extortionate interest rates, sometimes trapping borrowers in a vicious debt cycle.

Increased borrowing has also been fuelled by rapid population growth and an increase in the number of banks, branches, ATMs as well as adoption of mobile banking, which have increased the number of people applying for loans and eased to loan facilities.



reality on the ground, form ni, "nitumie kwa hii number ile ingine iko na shida ".

imports will be higher yet disposable income is still the same or non existent.
 
Nikiwaambia pale shida iko you'll all go wild yelping and yelling like the primates you are.

So be the jury.

What do you call monkeys that borrow to bet? High IQ individuals? Educated, reasonable folks?

Please be the jury....
 
Though story ya mobile lending is not all grim as reported. Nani hapa hajawai tumia fuliza? Paying bills and sending money is such a breeze hata sielewi why it took the mandarins at Mpesa so long to introduce it, zile story za wacha ni deposit nikuje haziko tena. In my case I make sure I repay before they start hiting me with the daily access fee, stress ya ku confirm balance b4 transacting ilinitoka

I have never used fuuliza, I actually don't know how it works to be very honest and wouldn't like to use it.

Whenever you'd like to transact more than your balance message comes thru kama unataka wa adisie, say yes na transaction goes thru unabaki na deni. Most times unakuta hauna enough due to transaction fees

Its convinient but the fees are inconvinient.
 
Do you remember when the Gavament tried to clamp down on betting they all said that it was a personal choice? Wacha wakule ujeuri wao...

And they ran SportPesa out of town?

One of my relatives was employed by them.

Losing that job and seeing this headline made us realize the utter foolishness.
