Business In a Time Of Diminishing Trust

The National and County Governments are the leading culprits of \”Killing\”
businesses. You deliver products, but it takes years for the government to
honour payments. In mind I have the case of the suppliers who have been
asking for payment from the Prisons Department, and they blame the person
of the Principal Secretary for their predicament.

The private sector learns from the government and perfects the art of
dishonouring agreements.

The \”Utado\” attitude reigns everywhere.
