The Prime Minister is screaming at local leaders to stop harassing street hustlers. Mwigulu Nchemba directed Regional Commissioners to actually sit down with petty traders and transport operators to find decent spots for business. He claims fighting poverty requires giving people legitimate places to work rather than ignoring the problem.
Officials seizing public land for corrupt rent schemes got put on notice to cut it out immediately. Nchemba wants legal action taken against greedy bureaucrats while demanding that ministries include trader representatives when looking for foreign gigs. He also insists that the process for getting travel documents needs massive simplification.
Banks might actually chill out on strict lending rules soon to help the little guy. The administration considers moving the supervision of these groups away from the community development ministry to streamline things. Dorothy Gwajima noted that over one hundred thousand vendors have registered digitally since the tracking system launched.
NMB Bank executives confirmed they handed out over ten billion shillings in loans already, but traders want more options. Namoto Yusuf Namoto demanded that other banks get involved because relying on one lender restricts access. Bodaboda leader Said Chunja reminded everyone that riders contribute billions annually and need help getting licenses.
