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?

      I agree with you, editing headlines because of clickbait should be allowed
