“I would like to thank ITNews for bestowing upon me this great honour. Being named one of Africa’s top 20 most influential women in technology is to me a great endorsement of the great impact that M-PESA continues to have in the lives of millions of people in Kenya and beyond,” said Ms.Mwangi-Thuo.
