A Case of Akiba Commercial Bank John
Adoption of mobile banking services by micro, small and medium enterprises in Tanzania: A Case of Akiba Commercial Bank John Leon Masters of Business Administration University of Dar es Salaam, Business School, 2017 Despite benefits of mobile banking technological advancement, customers running SMEs have continued to use traditional banking services characterized by long queues, long distance traveling and time wasting that negatively affect time allocated for other economic activities. This study aimed to assess the adoption of mobile banking services by SMEs in Tanzania using Akiba Commercial Bank as a case study. Out of 13 branches of Akiba Commercial Bank located in Dar es Salaam, 6 of them were selected randomly, where a random sample of 18 bank staff and 180 bank customers running SMEs in the respective branches were also selected to represent the study population. Questionnaires were administered to the randomly selected customers and purposive selected staff. It was found that, out of the interviewed 180 customers running SMEs at Akiba Commercial Bank, the majority of them (57.8%) had a positive perception on the use of the services. Out of them, 74.4% were aware of the existence of various mobile banking services, 17.8% of them were registered with mobile banking services but only 3.9% of the SMEs were using such services. Perceived risks of the banking services was a major reason (84.4%) for the non-use of the mobile banking services, followed by network problems (69.4%), transaction costs (49.7%), perceived complexity in using the services (43.9%), poor skills and knowledge in using the services (27.7%) and poor customer care of the bank (20.8%).Despite the fact that the majority of SMEs had a positive perception on the use of mobile banking services, the level of adoption of the services was very low. -

Emerging Trends on Condominium Housing Sector of Uganda
EMERGING TRENDS ON CONDOMINIUM HOUSING SECTOR OF UGANDA 1.0 Introduction. Housing is a fundamental human right which is essential to every individual, family and community’s wellbeing as envisaged in Article 25 of the United Nations Universal Declarations of Human rights.1 The 1995 Constitution grants land ownership rights solely to citizens of Uganda. Foreigners cannot own land freehold. They may, however, obtain leases for 49 or 99 years. Foreigners can either rent/lease from citizens or from the Government.2Condominiums (condos) are the fast emerging concept that Ugandans are embracing despite the fact that the Condominium laws were passed enacted almost twenty years ago. Condos in Uganda are regulated by Condominium Property Act No. 4 of 2001 enacted on 23rd February 2001and Condominium Property Regulations the regulations enacted on 26th April 2002. Condominium refers to a system of separate ownership of individual units in a multiple unit building, the individual units of which are designated for separate ownership and the remainder of which is designated for common ownership solely by the owners of those units.3 The purpose of the act and regulations were to provide for the division of buildings into units and common property: to provide for individual ownership of those units by issuance of certificates of title in relation to the units as tenants in common; and to provide for the use and management of the units and common property and for the connected matters. Examples of condominiums include Bugolobi flats, Bukoto flats to mention but a few. Experts warn that Uganda has the fastest growing and young population in the world at a growth of 3.5 percent per annum, which might in the near future create a housing crisis in 1 The United Nations Universal declaration of Human Rights 2 Article 26(1) & (2) 237 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda 3See section 1 of the Condominium Act of No. -
