President William Ruto on Thursday attended the Annual General Meeting for Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
KNCCI president Richard Ngatia chaired the meeting at St Andrew's Parish Hall, Nairobi.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, and Trade, Investment and Industry CS Moses Kuria were also in the meeting.
Ruto urged financial institutions to be flexible on how they lend money to micro, small and medium enterprises.
He said the greatest challenge facing these small enterprises was the concept of financing their projects.
“I want to challenge our financial institutions with tremendous respect that it is time and it possible we inspired the MSMEs to ensure they have access to affordable credit,” he said.
