We have seen that the emerging technologies are having tendencies to cut across the countries, and that requires some means and way to unify regulatory efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the spillover of innovation like mobile money. We have M-Pesa from East Africa coming here, Momo from Uganda, and we hope that M-GURUSH will also spread across other regions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch cross-cutting services require that we should have the same understanding in what we are regulating in the industry with our counterpart in the region. As members of East Africa, of course, we endeavor to upgrade our capacity so that we are at the same level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">South-Sudan<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
