Whats the figure? (Last time I heard it was happening I guess it still is. About the figure I remember somebody mentioning a refundable goodwill of Kshs 20M and cash purchase for fuel(That was like 6 years ago.)

Not to sound discouraging but it is quite a hustle. The levels of approval are crazy from one govt office to the other and a lot of requirements. I am still stuck at the municipal council level
