Corporate philanthropy makes business sense. In the Coronavirus Emergency Fund, the business community, our philanthropists and the donor community, are being called upon to contribute and support the government to prevent our economy from falling into stagnation and deep recession. The Sh2 billion so called corruption dividend cheque Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji handed to Treasury Secretary Ukur Yatani the other day was a good start.
But what is going to make a difference are contributions from businesses and from philanthropists and our own rich families as is happening in South Africa.
