Mobile money, Money-changing and Social Relations at the Kenya-Uganda Border Points

Eric MAGALE, Mambo!, vol. XXII (2), 2025.
The Busia and Malaba border points between Kenya and Uganda are not only a melting point of cultures and nationalities; it is also the hub of significant informal commercial activity. Money therefore plays a critical role in facilitating exchange. Within this understanding, mobile money stands out as an important medium of exchange and money changing, a critical means of exchanging value. This article describes the social embeddedness of the trading community at the border points and the distinctive role that mobile money and money changing practices plays in this regard.
