A few weeks ago, while doing some mapping on new businesses that have started or expanded in the aquaculture space in western Kenya counties, we came by a young man who had taken a chance on opening a retail fish shop that doubled as a small restaurant specialising in fresh fish delicacies.
On asking his biggest challenge, he lamented that even before he set up the business, the cost of licensing of his small shop, through various certificates, had been over Sh120,000.
