When we brought it to him; with a very small amount because in our little minds we thought Kshs300 million or Kshs1 billion was a lot of money, he asked what kind of money that was. I quickly said that we could, in fact, reduce it to Kshs200 million, because in my mind then, that was a lot of money. He said nobody would take us seriously and doubled that money. He gave us Kshs2 billion and in the three years to follow it became Kshs5 billion."}
