Use saccos to fight poverty, corruption

Corruption is a strange industry. It can take only three people, one working full time and the other two as “sleeping” directors, a few months to make a profit of Sh500 million. To make the same amount in a month, it takes some of our best known companies a lot of man hours, billions of shillings in capital and infrastructure.

This makes one thing clear, corruption spawns laziness and unemployment and stifles business opportunity. Even worse it makes markets unstable as those who make money easily also spend it lavishly making things more expensive.
