Kenyan businesses are dropping the world’s favorite mobile money service | Semafor

Small businesses in Kenya are increasingly rejecting mobile money payments in favor of cash as they look to sidestep aggressive tax compliance measures.

Thought this was interesting. Partially because of raised prices, but apparently mainly because of tax enforcement.

The shift follows the deployment of 1,400 paramilitary-trained field officers by the Kenya Revenue Authority

    Sidenote in case any of the mods read this:

    Kenyan businesses are dropping the world’s favorite mobile money service

    Is the original headline, now what I’d have posted is “Kenyan businesses are dropping mobile money service M-Pesa”, possibly with “because of increased tax-enforcement”, the latter is probably too much editorializing, but the former makes it less clickbait-y and more informational. What kind of editing of original headlines is preferred?
