Sikua nimeona hii sweep.
FYI, I never have the intention of flaunting my humble business, and if it comes out like that, then fcuk you. My intention has always been to show the futility of 500 bob to 12m Kenyans and the false belief that it will lift everyone (or anyone for that matter) from poverty.
If I was in the technical committee drafting the rules, this is what I would have recommended:
1) loans to be given to registered organizations, be they companies or youth groups or whatever.
2) The qualifying organization must show a plan to solve one of these problems
a) food shortage. Either through more production or preservation or value addition
b) produce something that we have traditionally imported. e.g. light bulbs or textiles, or produce something for export
c) offer employment, either directly or indirectly, to not less than 100 people
3) the minimum loan is 5m Kenya shillings.
With the 50bn kitty, this would benefit 10k organizations each employing 100 people. That is a cool 1m jobs created. Not forgetting that we are saving on imports while growing our exports.
That would now be a useful fund.
