Who the fuck has someone they know in Kenya besides people who live in Kenya. Do the people in Kenya even have access to the internet??
Who the fuck are you? Are you mentally retarded? Have you ever lived in Kenya? I send money to my wife in Kenya using Bitpesa all the time. The shillings arrive on her phone within about 90 minutes. There are a million little MPesa shops everywhere that you can get shillings using you phone. You just text the money over to them. It beats Western Union on all factors.
It is actually easier and faster to use Bitcoin in Kenya than the United States. I just got back from Kenya after about six months and going through my mail, I discovered that my bank account is messed up/suspended/closed (they never emailed me and prevented me from logging on...they only sent snail mail). I have bitcoins but no easy way to convert them to cash now. This would never be a problem in Kenya.
As for internet, I used, Orange, a 3G USB device for only 3000 shillings ($33) per month, at over a MB per second, it is significantly faster and cheaper than my internet here in Hawaii. You can use an internet cafe for about 25 shillings ($0.28) per hour.
