Alternative headline: Kenyan farmers are doing bigger business than ever before, requiring amounts that are too big for traditional sources of finance.
Kenyan farmers are shifting toward Saccos and commercial banks to finance their farms, with reliance on loans from family and friends falling as overall borrowing increases, a CBK survey shows. zurl.co/p9WCv

There’s this Chinese place at Forest Mall that has a “choose your own ingredients” hot pot, and it’s my new favorite thing 👌

“With the utmost contempt it deserves.” I swear we are living in a simulation 😮‍💨
PUBLIC STATEMENT The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) has learnt with concern of the launch of a “National Data Strategy” by the Ministry of Information, Communication Technology and National Guidance (MoICT&NG). The Bureau informs the public that the strategy breaches the provisions of the UBOS Act, 1998, Cap. 333, which establishes UBOS as the principal data collecting and disseminating agency responsible for coordinating, monitoring and supervising the National Statistical System. The public is therefore strongly advised to treat the impugned “National Data Strategy” recently launched by the MoICT&NG with the utmost contempt it deserves. Read the full statement below. #UBOS #EvidenceBasedStatistics #DataForDevelopment
