World Bank offers to support Ruto’s, Hustler Fund to enable Kenyans access credit for personal and business use.
President William Ruto on Tuesday, February 7, announced that the World Bank had provided financial backing for Hustler Fund.
The Head of State stated in a statement that the international financial institution was eager to support the fund’s pool, which was designed to make it easier for Kenyans to acquire credit for both personal and commercial purposes.
He also mentioned that the World Bank was offering technical support to aid in the program’s implementation.
Ruto noted that the support from the international financial organization will enable his government to distribute the monies to more Kenyans.
However, he did not reveal the amount World Bank would provide towards the hustler kit funding.
“We appreciate the decision of the World Bank to recognize the Hustler Fund in cushioning the vulnerable in society.
“We welcome its financial support and technical assistance which will go a long way in making the fund more inclusive and transformative to millions of ordinary Kenyans,” he stated.

On the other hand, he also commended the World Bank for other climate change-related programs in the nation.
After speaking with a World Bank group led by Victoria Kwakwa, the organization’s regional vice president for Eastern and Southern Africa, Ruto revealed the information.
Following Ruto’s announcement that the Hustler Fund loan limit would be increased to include more than 6 million Kenyans, who had so far saved Ksh850 million, the meeting was called.
He stated that in order to give loans, the government would also implement credit scores.
“The financial grade will determine if you are good or if you need to increase the credit. You will be explained why you qualify for the grade issued to you.
“Some of you will even access double of what you have been accessing, some of you will access an additional 80 percent of what you have been accessing,” he stated.
