Telkom Kenya will launch its mobile money service in two weeks once it gets the nod from the financial services regulator.

“We have successfully done trials internally and we expect the Central Bank of Kenya to give us the go-ahead for launch later this month,” said Claire Rutto, the head of legal and regulatory affairs in Nairobi yesterday during the launch of a promotion where customers stand a chance to win a car each day for 50 days with each airtime top up.
