The short answer

Ugandans pay Kenyan schools, Kenyan suppliers and Kenyan landlords every day, and most of that money still crosses badly. Here it crosses in about a minute: MTN MoMo or Airtel funds it, M-Pesa or a Kenyan bank receives it, and the UGX to KES figure you approve is the figure that lands.
