  "account": "Safaricom, the Kenyan telecommunications giant, has made changes within its organization following concerns over fraud. In the latest installment of TechCabal Daily, readers were invited to engage with members of the newsroom at the Moonshot 2026 event, discussing African tech stories and posing questions. Meanwhile, FirstRand, a South African banking group, is actively seeking a smaller Kenyan lender to acquire, rather than paying a premium for a larger one. This move comes as Kenyan banks reported a 16.3% increase in profits last year, while smaller lenders face pressure to build sufficient capital to meet a KES 10 billion ($77 million) minimum by 2032.",
