Me : Very good!
Chairperson : Well. How many have registered?

Me : They will give. They've promised

Chairperson : Ask them. Thy can't lack. You do not need to keep reminding a person.
Me : Really you do not need to explain to a Saniaga why he or she should be a Saniaga. I understand 🙈
Chairperson : You need get people involved. Registration is now a past thing. Get moving. Let them know is a requirement anyway.  From the contacts, reach at least 100 people. Let each of them commit 1000/-. They can. How much is that?
Me: One hundred K.
Chairperson :  What can you do with one hundred thousand? Don't answer me because you do not have. Or else you would be using it somehow!

Me: To the bank. All will be in the bank.
Chairperson : That is good. From there the very contributors will need to suggest ways to productively channel the money. For instance, see this farm. I can let you do something you like. Bee keeping, Green houses, Vegetable farming all for a start as you think bigger. Or you can decide other things.
Me : That is good, that is why you are the chairperson.
Chairperson : You need take up the mantle you young people. Why involve a muzee in your things?
Me : You are Saniaga, not mzee.
Chairperson : You get the challenge. Let me see you people utilise the opportunity.
Me : We take the challenge.
