I wish I had such money to have given out for free. Instead of the company\u2019s initial 5% interest on the loan, I have decided to absorb half, hence the interest will be 2.5% aimed at reducing the difficulty in repaying the loan\u201d, she said to a resounding applause from the people.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Communication expressed the hope that the number of recipients would increase in a short period, depending on how quickly the beneficiaries pay back the loans.<\/p>\n<p>Officials from Innovative Microfinance Company took turns to educate the people on how to access the loans and assured them of a successful disbursement of the fourth batch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics of Monday, 29 April 2019 Source: classfmonline.com 2019-04-29 Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, MP for Ablekuma West The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ablekuma West constituency, Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, in partnership with Innovative Microfinance, has given loans to over 1,500 of her constituents.
