@RixDollar:
Yes, half of Kenyans use it often.
Everyone seem to accept it for payment (restaurants, taxis, supermarket, book stores etc.)
The percentage of merchants accepting is nearly everyone already. I found out that the biggest growth was around 2011.
MPESA launched publicly in 2007.

Would you say more than half of Kenyans use it often?
Who accepts it as a form of payment?
In regards to merchants who accept it for goods/services, is the percentage growing?
Do you about when this was launched?

Safaricom, it's a typo.
It is the biggest mobile provider in East Africa (Vodacom). MPESA is Safaricom's mobile money. It is used by more than half of Kenyans.

The use of a digital form of money is embedded in the Kenyan society.
Safaricom’s success in Kenya included a grand promotional campaign.
Everyone gained trust in mobile payments after a colleague, friend or a cousin confirmed it was not a con.
It is now as cheap as $40 to buy an Android OS phone in Kenya.
