In light of the damage witnessed during last year's anti-Finance Bill protests and the demonstrations on 25 June this year, the government has introduced several measures aimed at restoring the economic capacity of the affected small businesses.
Through a statement released on Thursday, June 26, Principal Secretary in the State Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), Susan Mang'eni, revealed a seven-point strategy to strengthen the MSME sector.
The government's immediate response will include the establishment of a rapid assessment team to document all affected MSMEs and the fast-tracking of the processing of business renewal and license renewal for affected companies.
Further, the State will coordinate with insurance companies for expedited claims processing and sensitising the MSMEs on the need for insurance.
