The Government of Kenya has since prepared a number of sessional papers and development plans which focus on the development of micro, small and medium size enterprises in Kenya (Republic of Kenya, 1986; Republic of Kenya, 1989; Republic of Kenya, 1992; Republic of Kenya, 1994; Republic of Kenya, 1996; Republic of Kenya, 1997).

Comments
Benjamin I.

Princess R.

I think the paper has undergone a rigorous process of research. Well-done.
