...theres another thread on this same topic, sent at approx same time... ...guess the T's & C's are pissing off a whole lot of potential innovators... ...maybe (just maybe), someone needs to trim the horns off this little beast before it gets too big and drives us all out of innovation/development/business?

What would you rather Safaricom Say? When you moot an idea to Safaricom, it is at the realisation that technically and/or financially you lack the capacity to see the idea through. It is on the insight that Safcom is better placed to make it a reality that you approach them. You thus transfer the risk that accompanies your idea to Safcom. As an equity investor in your idea, it is only human for safcom to think egocentric and protect it's investment and at the same time be ready to absorb any risk that comes with it. The caveat is in order. Nobody draws a contract that is not in his favor and as such don't expect Safcom to. If your idea is hot and feel that the terms dont favour you...take it to Bharti/ex-Zain On 22 June 2010 13:23, matere lusitche <kenyabizideas@gmail.com> wrote:

I actually experienced this first hand... I innocently tried to set up an existing Company (full of engineers ) by hooking them up to Mpesa. So I asked whether Safcom has a till that only dispenses money, but does not receive deposits to serve these traveling engineers with cash from the office instead of the Company always banking on Mpesa kiosks with "no float" or they using ATM cards out in the field.... My question was not answered - which I found a bit rude - instead they sent these 5 or 6 documents with the same legal jargon about "taking your idea and you can do jack to us ...." blah blah... That they will get back to me.... blah blah... Suffice to say,, they never got back to me. I was suddenly treated like some sort of enemy,, no further communication, no response to subsequent emails... And seriously, i dint care about the stupid idea - I just wanted to know whether I can do business. Mabbe the idea was tried out with other pilot companies -- but the guy who wanted it --- Policy "TERMINATE HIM !!!!"
