Kenyan exchange brings transparency
This link from my fellow researcher Andrea McGrath shows how even a traditional stock exchange is becoming a force for political and societal and economic transparency in Kenya. One overheard anecdote from the fellow from the Kenyan Social Stock Exchange delivered at the recent Belagio conference goes like this: “What is a socially responsible business in your context?” The response from the Kenyan SSE “A business that does not shoot its employees.” A powerful and good tool in a local context, the existing exchange and the prospect of a social stock exchange bring new possibilities.
