Akon's Investment in Kenya


American Singer, Akon will be investing in Western Kenya through his sole-currency, Akoin. 

Akoin will be sole-currency of a multi-billion dollar city in Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪

Akoin, the cryptocurrency project created by global music star Akon, has secured a deal to become the main currency of the $2 billion technology city in Western Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪. The Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC) is home to over 35,000 people and thousands of businesses, all of which will be using Akon’s Stellar-based cryptocurrency, the company said in a press release shared with CryptoSlate.

Major Kenyan tech hub to use Akoin as the main currency
The grammy-award winning artist and producer Akon has secured a major deal for his cryptocurrency project Akoin which will make it the official currency of a burgeoning tech hub in Kenya.

During a speech at the BlockDown 2020 conference, Akon, who celebrated his 47th birthday today, said that the Akoin payment system will be able to compete with the already hugely popular mPesa. Unlike the Vodafone-owned mobile payment provider, there will be no transaction fees on the Akoin network in order to incentivize mass use. The only time when fees will be charged, though, will be when users withdraw their funds from the Akoin network.

Kenya is extremely well-positioned to adopt a payment system such as Akoin—the country has banned cash transactions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and has a history of quickly adopting new technologies, especially those mobile-based.

“This strategic partnership with MMTC will give Akoin a dominant position to control the market of 400 million people in East and Central Africa, many of who rely on mobile digital transactions for their financial services.”

While only 85 percent of the Mwale Medical and Technology City has been completed to date, the entire development should be completed until the end of the year. Implementing Akoin to Mwale’s ambitious urban development is just the first step in the network’s overall strategy.

According to Akon and other company representatives, Akoin plans on capturing the market in the rest of Eastern Central Africa in phase 1 of its development. Phase 2, which is expected to be completed by 2025, will focus on capturing the Western African market.

MT Kenya the Weeping Giant

  Mt Kenya enjoys a large population and a great popular vote. However, despite the numbers, the region is still a weeping giant. but why is it so? Now voting system determines the king making process therefore continuity in leadership is a major definition to it. For a record of time, the most powerful politicians in Kenya, enjoys re-election, not because they accomplish everything but because those who vote for them understand that one day, they will sit in the high table and bargain on their behalf. As we are speaking Mount Kenya has not groomed her leaders and the mountain is weeping. also read https://bit.ly/3fY4Sn4 We are just bragging about our eight million votes but truth be told, it’s not about the numbers but the leaders. A ship is able to navigate even in a stormy sea not because of it is bigger than the sea, but because the captain behind the wheel understands the navigation dashboard. And so is leadership. Hard facts. We don’t elect leaders to have an immedia...

Jubilee will Fool Kenyans Again

Jubilee is Fooling Kenyans Again It's alleged that Jubilee will 'clean the house today'. Some of us will give in to the 5th level of mind (poor mind) that the outcome is to favor me and you. But the truth is that our maths are already done. 'The true lie' is already made and we will sing it like national anthem. Our emotions will be carried away by simple mind tricks. We will be fooled again only to realize on June 1st ( Foolsday). The future of Kenya is not in Jubilee. The future or Kenya is not in ODM. The future of Kenya is in you and me. Parties are there to make some territorial leadership. Whoever got the number got the say. We don't the need number. We don't need the say. We need development. We need jobs. We need good hospitals that even the leaders building them will be comfortable being treated in the same hospitals they built. Its ironical how many people believe this political goons in the name of 'Mtu wetu'. The syndrome will...
