GOVERNMENT is happy with the Citizen Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC) for developing products that would ensure a big number of entrepreneurs should benefit from the initiatives.

Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises Elias Mubanga said Government was happy with the developments which CEEC had been undertaking to ensure as many entrepreneurs as possible benefitted.
Mr Mubanga has disclosed that about 77,000 marketeers have since benefited from the marketeers booster loans so far across the country and that many were still to benefit from the products.
He said the initiative had benefitted marketeers to enhance their businesses.
Mr Mubanga said this empowerment process will continue as the beneficiaries pay back the funds which would then be rolled out to other traders who are on the waiting list.
Mr Mubanga said his ministry had a department that offered sensitisation on the empowerment with the help of the CEEC.
He said there was a provision of entrepreneurship and cooperative officers in all 116 districts who were able to share the information in local languages with local people in rural areas that had no access to radios or televisions.
