Hello guys. Remember Rex and Evan’s? The first victims of this cruel regime. We have sent one million each to their families that’s their mum. The remaining will be sent to the family of Ian, who was shot three times on the back and won’t be able to walk again. This is minus the

I do not think people save in merry-go-rounds for interest. Merry go-arounds are a social event with banking as an add-on. Ignoring the social part of merry-go-rounds invalidates the whole thing. That's the reason why it's hard to digitise them. They are a social affair first.

Tomorrow's CBK MPC meeting is one to watch. Could see the first rate hike since 2015. Also, lots of pressure on CBK:
~ KBA want rate hiked to combat inflation
~ Banks want approval of the risk based lending rates
~ KAM decry the dollar shortage and exchange rate
