    Episode 189 - Africa’s Scam Economy Has Industrialized: What Telecom Operators Must Do Next

    Africa’s scam economy is becoming more organised, automated and sophisticated. What was once the occasional fraudulent SMS has evolved into smishing, vishing, identity theft, business impersonation, SIM-swap-enabled account takeovers, AI-generated identity documents and deepfake voice calls. I moderated a discussion recorded at the TARS 2026 Telecom Africa Revenue Assurance & Fraud Management Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, on the 13th May 2026 titled: Protecting the Customer: Scam Typologies, Operator Responsibilities & Fraud Awareness in Africa The panel brought together: Ann Khambo - Revenue Assurance and Fraud Management Manager, Airtel Money, Airtel KenyaOgochukwu (Ogo) Onwuzurike - Country Manager, Nigeria, TruecallerMieraf T. Birhane - Executive Head of Fraud Management, Safaricom Telecommunications Ethiopia The discussion examines how customer-facing fraud is changing across African telecom and mobile-money markets, why social engineering remains such an effective attack vector, and why operators can no longer regard themselves as neutral pipes when their networks, brands and identity systems are being exploited. Mieraf shares insights from Ethiopia’s evolving fraud landscape, including smishing, account takeover, subscription fraud and commission-related abuse. She also describes a striking case in which fraudsters used makeup and physical impersonation to attempt fraudulent SIM swaps—an incident detected because the agent involved had received practical fraud training. Ann explores identity theft, including situations where innocent customers may not know their photographs or personal information have been used to register SIM cards or commit fraud. She also explains why GSM and mobile-money fraud must be analyzed together using KYC, voice, SMS, location, SIM, device and transaction data. Ogo introduces the “machine era of spam and fraud.” According to the figures shared during the panel, Truecaller intercepted approximately 68 billion spam and fraud calls in 2025, compared with approximately 37.8 billion in 2021. She explains how AI and automation are helping fraudsters scale while excessive calls and messages from legitimate organisations are also eroding trust in phone-based communication. Key Themes: Smishing, vishing and social engineeringIdentity theft and fraudulent SIM registrationSIM-swap-enabled account takeoverBusiness impersonation and investment scamsReal-time detection, analytics and machine learningInternal fraud and insider riskAnti-fraud by designOperator responsibility and customer protectionCross-industry collaboration Time Stamps 00:00 Intro music 00:12 Africa’s scam operations have industrialised 04:09 What keeps fraud leaders awake at night? 04:44 Ethiopia’s evolving fraud landscape 08:43 Identity theft and the innocent customer 10:54 The human factor in customer-facing fraud 11:24 Why operators must take greater responsibility 13:43 The machine era of spam and fraud 18:05 AI call scanning and verified business communication 19:40 Smishing and sophisticated account takeover in Ethiopia 23:21 Data-driven controls for mobile-money fraud 24:05 Connecting GSM and mobile-money fraud 27:52 Business impersonation, investment scams and credibility engineering 30:49 Outro music The central takeaway is that customer-facing fraud is no longer only a fraud-management or revenue-assurance issue. It is a customer-experience, brand-trust, financial-inclusion and digital-economy issue. Protecting customers requires shared responsibility across telecom operators, mobile-money providers, banks, fintechs, platforms, regulators, agents, employees and customers.

    Episode 188 - From Data-Rich to Insight-Driven: How AI Is Reshaping Retail in Kenya & Africa

    Kenyan and African retailers generate enormous volumes of information through point-of-sale systems, inventory platforms, loyalty programmes, e-commerce, mobile applications, social commerce, delivery platforms and digital payments. However, much of that data remains fragmented, underused and disconnected from everyday business decisions. In this special episode of the Pure Digital Passion Podcast, I moderate a discussion from the RETRAK Retail Summit 2026 titled: Smarter Retail: Turning Data, AI and Insights into Competitive Advantage The session took place on Thursday, 14 May 2026, at the Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi and brought together four experts representing retail entrepreneurship, digital payments, financial-services platforms and retail technology, as follows: Judy Waruiru - Regional Managing Director, Network InternationalSonal Haria - Co-Founder and CEO, Canvas Cosmetics, Co-Founder, CB Consulting & Media GroupEric Muriuki - Group Director, Digital Business, CEO, LOOP DFS, NCBA GroupSiddesh Narkar - Head of Product, Compulynx Topics Covered Why many retailers are data-rich but insight-poorThe importance of connecting fragmented customer dataBuilding a unified view across stores, websites, apps and paymentsWhy data readiness must come before AI readinessUsing data to improve product development, pricing and assortmentHow Canvas Cosmetics used customer insights to guide product developmentUsing payments data to understand churn, market movements and fraudAI-supported replenishment, stock management and pricingHow AI can improve sales productivity and outreachBalancing personalisation with customer privacy and trustPrivacy-by-design approaches to retail dataHow AI agents may soon shop and pay on behalf of consumersPractical AI actions retailers can take during the next 12 monthsKey Message Retailers do not need to begin with an expensive, enterprise-wide AI programme.They should begin by digitizing operations, organising existing information, selecting one or two commercially important problems, measuring the results and building from the small wins.AI can analyze more information and provide options faster, but human judgement remains essential.

    Episode 187 - The Future Of Lending In Kenya & Africa: AI, Alternative Data, Digital Identity & Automation

    What does a truly future-ready African lender look like? Is it enough to launch a mobile application, automate loan approvals or introduce artificial intelligence into the credit-scoring process? Or does meaningful digital transformation require lenders to rethink the entire customer journey—from acquisition, onboarding and identity verification through credit decisioning, disbursement, repayment and collections? In this panel discussion I moderated a practical and thought-provoking conversation on the future of lending in Kenya and Africa. The discussion was recorded during The Future of Lending: Loan Origination, E-Sign & AI, held on the 29th of May 2026 at Park Inn by Radisson in Westlands, Nairobi. The event was co-hosted by Presta Technologies, Zoho and the Digital Financial Services Association of Kenya.

    Episode 185 - Building Innovation in Africa & the Middle East at Celpay & Zain: The Making of Tito Alai | Part 3

    The final part of my three-part conversation with Tito Alai begins with one of the most important and least widely understood stories in African technology: the origins of Celpay. According to Tito’s first-hand account, Celtel’s mobile-money journey began with market research in Zambia. The company noticed that airtime purchased in one city was often activated in another. People were already finding ways to support relatives, employees and business partners remotely. Me2U made it possible to transfer airtime directly from one user to another. The next insight was even more significant. Recipients were sometimes exchanging that airtime for cash or goods. In a hyperinflationary environment with limited access to conventional banking and card infrastructure, airtime had become a proxy for money. Tito explains how Celtel attempted to formalise that behaviour through Celpay and why the company eventually sold the business to focus resources on the rapid expansion of its core telecommunications network. The episode then moves into Celtel’s entry into Kenya and Nigeria, including the complexities of growing through acquisition rather than building every operation from the ground up. The second half of the conversation explores Celtel’s acquisition by MTC of Kuwait and the creation of Zain. Tito was asked to take on integrated commercial leadership across the Middle East and Africa. The group had strong operations but lacked one coherent identity. Celtel had powerful African brand equity, but simply exporting that identity into the Middle East would have required diluting what made it meaningful. The solution was to create a new brand. Tito takes us inside the process that produced Zain, from hundreds of possible names to market research, executive choice, visual identity and rollout across countries with very different histories and existing brands. We also discuss his work after Zain through Mimi Africa, his time at Afreximbank during the COVID-19 period and his current conviction that secure digital identities, digital signatures and certification will be essential to Africa’s economic integration. This final episode brings the entire series together: consumer insight, innovation, global brand strategy, African institutional agency and the importance of telling our own stories.

    Episode 184 - Reinventing Brands Globally at Africa Online, Kodak, & Celtel: The Making of Tito Alai | Part 2

    Part 1 of my conversation with Tito Alai ended just as he was leaving Unilever and joining Africa Online. Part 2 begins at that exact inflection point. After almost a decade in one of the world’s most sophisticated consumer-goods organizations, Tito deliberately moved into a young African internet business because he wanted a genuinely new learning curve. Africa Online was scaling across several markets at a time when the internet itself was still unfamiliar to most consumers and organisations on the continent. Tito explains what it meant to take the consumer understanding, organizational discipline and brand-management principles he had learned at Unilever and apply them inside a startup environment. The conversation has special personal resonance for me because Africa Online is also where I began my career. We revisit the company’s “My World, My Provider” era, the need to create consistency across countries and the importance of presenting one coherent narrative to customers, employees and investors. Tito then takes us into Eastman Kodak. He first managed consumer imaging across roughly 90 countries covering Africa, the Middle East and Central Europe before being appointed to lead the film category across Western Europe. His assignment was simple to describe but difficult to execute: find growth in a mature category. Tito explains why that meant taking market share from competitors—and how Kodak was already confronting the early strategic challenge of digital photography. The final chapter introduces Mo Ibrahim and the vision that became Celtel. Tito describes joining a group that believed Africans deserved mobile technology as good as anything available elsewhere, and we begin exploring how the company developed market-specific innovations rather than treating Africa as an afterthought. The discussion includes the origins of Me2U and Celpay, as well as the commercial problem that eventually produced One Network: why should crossing an African border suddenly make a phone call dramatically more expensive? This is a conversation about reinvention, disruption, storytelling and the power of building from the realities of the consumer.

    Episode 183 - From Kenya to Unilever’s Global Stage: The Making of Tito Alai | Part 1

    I had initially planned to record one Pure Digital Passion Podcast conversation with Tito Alai. We ended up recording three. By the end of this first session, we had only managed to cover Tito’s early life, education, rise through East African Industries—now Unilever—and his move to London for international strategic responsibilities. We had not yet reached Africa Online, Kodak, Celtel, Celpay, One Network, Zain, Mimi Africa, Afreximbank or his current work around African digital identities. That is the scale of Tito’s story. In Part 1, we begin in Kirinyaga, where Tito was born while his father, then a District Commissioner, was away responding to a rogue-elephant incident. We move to his childhood on a farm in Muhoroni, boarding school from the age of six and his years at Lenana School, where he embraced academics, sport, leadership and extracurricular life. Tito explains why he chose humanities despite excelling in mathematics and the sciences, how the death of his father changed the period immediately before university, and why he briefly dropped out of the University of Nairobi because he felt insufficiently challenged. The second half of the conversation traces his entry into Unilever’s graduate-management program. He recalls choosing East African Industries over Coca-Cola, beginning in field sales, learning how products actually moved through the market and later becoming a brand manager responsible for outcomes without having direct authority over the people needed to deliver them. We also unpack the extraordinary moment when an informal-looking trip to London turned out to be an interview for an international role. At just 29, Tito moved to London and began coordinating strategic work across Latin America before taking on wider regional and global responsibilities. This episode is about much more than one person’s early career. It is about how curiosity, responsibility, consumer understanding and a willingness to keep learning can transform the direction of a life.

    Episode 182 - Akili AI’s Simon Bransfield-Garth & Shikoli Makatiani Unpack Practical AI For Businesses In Kenya

    In this follow-up episode of the Pure Digital Passion Podcast, I sit down again with Simon Bransfield-Garth, Founder & CEO of Akili AI, this time joined by Shikoli Makatiani, CTO and technical lead at Akili AI. Our first conversation with Simon explored his remarkable journey from working on artificial neural networks at Cambridge in the mid-1980s, to Symbian, mobile security, off-grid solar in Africa, and eventually the founding of Akili AI. This second conversation moves from vision to deployment. We discuss what it really takes to put AI to work inside Kenyan financial services organizations, including banks, cooperatives, microfinance institutions, customer service teams, and regulated business workflows. This is a deeply practical conversation about shadow AI, agentic systems, AI governance, AI readiness, AI risk registers, pain owners, MVP-first deployment, staff training, and why Kenyan and African organizations need to focus less on AI hype and more on measurable business outcomes. Key themes covered: Why many organizations are already using AI even when leadership thinks they are notWhat “shadow AI” means and why it creates governance and risk exposureWhy AI is not just another digital transformation tool but a decision-layer technologyHow Akili AI identifies practical business pain points before deploying AIWhy “pain owners” are critical to successful AI projectsHow agentic AI differs from chatbots in financial services workflowsWhy AI governance, guardrails, human oversight, and staff training matterHow Akili Snapshot, Akili Assured, and Akili Passport help organizations manage AI readiness and responsibilityWhy “good enough is good enough” when selecting AI models for practical African use casesWhat CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, founders, and risk leaders should do next Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and episode context01:29 Shadow AI and why unmanaged AI is already inside organizations03:04 Why the value is not in the AI model but in what you build around it04:43 Shikoli on practical AI deployment in Kenyan organizations06:48 Why AI operates at the decision layer of the business08:35 Moving from AI strategy to solving real business problems10:57 Why AI projects are different from ERP-style implementations12:32 Business cases, experimentation, and managing the risk of failure14:05 Why Akili AI prefers MVP-first deployment over big-bang transformation16:55 Reinventing business processes from the bottom up17:58 Building credibility through incremental AI wins19:07 Why Shikoli starts by asking: “Show me the pain owner”20:46 Customer service pain points, 72-hour response times, and 8,000 calls23:59 Moving from first AI projects to third and fourth deployments25:42 Managing scope creep in AI projects28:50 What agentic AI really means31:32 How AI agents can operate in microfinance and cooperative workflows34:33 Guardrails, human oversight, and safety in regulated financial services36:16 Reducing cognitive load for employees and customer service teams37:22 Akili Snapshot and what it reveals about AI readiness40:40 Akili Assured, AI governance, and Akili Passport training42:56 Real-world shadow AI risks inside banking environments45:52 Frontier models, sovereign AI, and why not every use case needs the biggest model48:08 Token maxing, cost control, and African AI pragmatism52:02 Advice for CEOs: start now, assess readiness, solve practical problems53:08 Advice for CTOs, CIOs, and founders on practical AI use cases55:19 Closing thoughts on responsible and practical AI deployment
