@MweneRubanda @Muhirela @cuwajeneza @YussoufNtwali @EricEricnziza @JeanClaudeRW I don’t know you MweneRubanda and why do you have to hide your real identity to come here and rant about someone who started a real business and learned from it.

@Muhirela My cent on this. Grants and prizes are business killers. Real money goes to best profitable business ideas. What is the ROI on every single $ invested? There you have it.

@johnnykayihura @Muhirela This grant thing is so real in our ecosystem. I know companies by name whose products I can’t tell who are always out there collecting grants. Look at their business? Nothing to show for the money. We need a real ecosystem

@Muhirela I am sorry but grants and prizes are a distraction when the business aims at those in the first place. Well and good if they come but many businesses are built chasing for the prizes and grants and end up in ditches after couple years
