Entrepreneurship ministry reinforces Chema Chema guardrails

Ahead of the Chema Chema Fund launch, opportunists had already begun marketing campaigns to attract interested loan applicants, offering aid with the process. However, the ministry is warning Chema Chema hopefuls to be wary of service providers claiming to aid individuals in the loan application process for the fund.

The ministry has noted with concern "the significant number of individuals offering unauthorised services claiming to assist and advise business owners". The ministry further urged applicants to refrain from dealing with unauthorised service providers and instead engage with recognised stakeholders.
