This cashless movement is very silent on one key aspect -- transition from public to private payment providers. We should not sacrifice public goods (cash being one) for so-called efficiency and transparency (cashless) values when we know all too well private payment options (MPESA, VISA, MasterCard) are as vulnerable to inefficiencies as they are to corruption.
