So we ask: Are we solving problems with foreign tools, or empowering homegrown innovation?. #BuildLocal #FintechAfrica #MadeInKenya #TechForInclusion #AfricanInnovation #JeffSpeaks #YouthInTech #AIWithContext #LocalSolutionsGlobalImpact.

His challenge was simple: trust Kenyan talent to solve Kenyan problems. This isn’t just about getting better results it’s about building systems that actually understand the people they're meant to serve.

The issue, he said, isn’t just the technology it’s where that technology comes from. Too often, we rely on imported APIs and AI models that don’t reflect our environments. Meanwhile, local developers with the right skills are overlooked.

Sometimes it’s the smallest moments that expose the biggest gaps in fintech. A frustrated user once asked why KYC facial recognition kept failing, poor lighting, mismatched features, endless retries.The question came during a Q&A in 2022 and Jeff didn’t hesitate with his response

A reminder that in the digital age, convenience must come with responsibility. The question now: Can we build systems that are both safe and seamless?. #DigitalSecurity #SIMSwapProtection #FintechAfrica #TelcoInnovation #SafaricomInsights #TechWithPurpose #SecureTheFuture.

Meaning stricter agent controls, better coordination between telcos, and stronger action on SIM swaps.But with tighter security comes a trade-off. As he put it, “It might become more painful to customers,but it’s about striking the right balance between experience and security.”.

As mobile money grows, so do the risks and the need for smarter protection. In 2022, Isaac shared a timely perspective on SIM card fraud and mobile wallet interoperability.He made it clear this isn’t just a Safaricom issue it’s a challenge the entire industry must tackle together

His message was clear: collecting data isn’t enough. The value comes from using it to create personalized, human-centered experiences. So now in 2025, we ask: Are we using data to truly understand people, or just to target them?.#CustomerExperience #DataWithPurpose #DigitalAfrica.

“If it helps you serve me better, I don’t mind how much you know,” he said. “When I go to Amazon and see things that relate to me that’s a good use of my data.”.

How we think about data and what we do with it is still evolving. During a thought-provoking session in 2022, Isaac from Safaricom reframed the data conversation. While many focused on privacy concerns, he leaned into the idea of relevance.

Because if we only innovate in urban bubbles, we leave the rest of the country behind. So we ask: Is Kenya’s tech future truly national, or just capital-focused?. #DecentralizeInnovation #TechForAll #FintechKenya #StartupAfrica #DigitalInclusion #BeyondNairobi #BuildBeyondCities.

Places like Kisii, Kericho, Nakuru even Kinangop are full of potential, yet often overlooked. The issue isn’t just access to services, it’s access to opportunity. Startups outside the city need fewer barriers, more support, and real pathways to grow.

Kenya’s fintech growth is impressive but who’s really being included in the journey?. In 2022, during a panel on innovation, one speaker raised a point that still challenges the ecosystem today:.Why does it feel like the future is only being built in Nairobi?

From tight regulations to limited access to funding, the obstacles weren’t technical. They were structural. Fast forward to 2025, and the question remains:.Have we made room for youth to lead, or are we still boxing them in with outdated rules and broken pathways?.

A familiar tension still lingers in Kenya’s tech scene: young innovators bursting with ideas, yet constantly pushing against invisible walls. In 2022, a powerful voice from the community called it out not a lack of talent, but a system that makes it hard for that talent to rise.

It’s not about what people lack it’s about what we fail to recognize. The real opportunity lies in meeting people where they are, and designing tools that speak their language. That message? It came in 2022, but it feels even more urgent now. Are we finally listening?.
