In an Interview Kanzota observed that government delayed paying them money within specified period of 30 days according to contracts requirements.

“Government takes long time to pay us SMEs. They can take 3 months or even a year saying they are waiting funding from Treasury.

On customers prospective, Kanzota assures them for continuity providing them with quality goods as used to do before to meet their satisfactory needs.
