The government through the State Department of Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME's) is in process of reviewing policies to unlock more business opportunities.
Speaking during the Western Region Stakeholders' public participation forum for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME's) policy of 2025 and MSE amendment bill, 2025 held in Busia town, PS for State Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Department Susan Mang'eni said the government is determined to fully support the MSME's. "MSMES is the main pillar of the BETA agenda and is the basic for the growth of our economy and that brought the need to look at the regulatory and policy framework and look on how to ease the ways of doing and getting in business and reduce the cost that is required to venture into business,' she said.
Mangeni stated that there are many opportunities available in the global market hence the need to address the policies to unlock such opportunities through relevant policy frameworks. "We have many emerging opportunities in the global market which we want to see on how to unlock and this calls us to look at our policy framework.
There are opportunities at global trade and even economic partnership agreements we have with the European Union and also various trade agreements that are under consideration now with the USA government,' she said.
