EDITORIAL: WE HAIL MANSA PLATFORM FOR BOLSTERING SMEs

With the foregoing in mind, we are happy to note that the East African Business Council (EABC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a partnership with Afrieximbank on rolling out the Mansa Digital Platform in our part of the world.

To that very noble end, we hail the Mansa Platform, for bolstering economies at the regional and continental levels
