TECHNOLOGY has taken centre stage in Kenya’s way of life with church offerings been done electronically, says Zambia’s High Commissioner to Kenya Brenda Muntemba.
Ms Muntemba said that Kenyans used phones for shopping and many other transactions using what was known as M-Pesa.
She explained that the M-Pesa was a system that allowed people to pay for services anywhere using their phones.
Ms Muntemba further said that the same system was also used in many churches by worshippers to pay their offerings including tithe..
“Today in most churches here people give their offerings using M-Pesa , every person just uses their phones to give whenever it is time for offering”, she said.
She said the system was effective and reliable for most people.
Ms Muntemba explained that most Kenyans were successful in their businesses because of the use of technology.
She said people were able to buy in various shops with just their mobile phones including paying church offerings.
“Most Kenyans succeed in their businesses because they have interest in technology and are always looking for new ways of improving their businesses using ICT”, she said.
