Which brings me to this:<div> I have been thinking about this; I am one of the many that are on the &#39;shafted/not paid for work&#39; list. Since we are such a mob, why don&#39;t we come up with a guild for IT startups/consultants. Pay the guild a monthly fee of a few 100s bob and put one or two lawyers on a retainer?</div>


<div> We can structure it this way:</div><div>  * Say we have 500 members and each person contributes 200 bob/month ~ 100, 000 KES.</div><div>  * If you have a need legal assistance; for a non payment complaint or want some help setting up a business, you pay a small fee (~ 1000k to prevent abuse of the system) and the rest is covered by the common pool.</div>


<div> * To prevent new/transient members from abusing the system, set up a minimum initiation period (~ 6 months) after joining where you either pay  a higher fee or have restricted access to the system. </div><div> * We can also provide advisory services to members. For example, a client black list  to prevent future abuse.</div>
