    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Committee in their findings. We should not consolidate the Uwezo Fund, the Women Enterprise Fund and other Funds to form the Biashara Kenya Fund. To begin with, it is crystal clear that to access financial credit from the mainstream financial institutions like banks, there are several conditions that you are required to fulfil. In fact, it is very difficult even for the working class, those on payroll, to access these facilities. For starters, you are required to have some security or collateral for you to access these facilities. Therefore, consolidating the Uwezo Fund, the Women Enterprise Fund and the other Funds to a financial institution will make it very difficult for majority of Kenyans, who fall within the lowest cadre like m ama mboga’s, boda boda taxi operators and even motorcar taxi businesses, to benefit from the facilities.
