    "content": "now have a quasi-law that regulates their existence and assures the operators in those sectors that they are duly recognised by the government and that one arm of government will not be licensing them today as another arm demolishes their structurers as it has been the case before. The population of business entrepreneurs in the SMEs sector is quite heavy. Indeed, it is one of the biggest employers in the Republic of Kenya yet there is no policy. As a democratic society, let us always align our policies to where our wealth is resting. There is a lot of unlocked wealth in the SME sector. If we nurture this sector, and have most of the self-employed operators assured that their operations are legit and that their funding is going to come from United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other international donor funding organisations who are keen to promote SME sectors, it would assure the skilled people who are doing their own businesses that this country also belongs to them. This way, we would also be expanding our tax base so that the Kenya Revenue Authority can collect enough revenue to support economic development."
