    "content": "go home rejoicing and smiling. Thanks to the Kenya Kwanza Government, we are giving a lot of attention to affordable housing. Our civil servants will buy and pay for a house at very affordable rates before they retire. That means that we are taking care of their retirement age. They will work, serve the Government, and enjoy their retirement in peace. A lot of funds have gone into waste and people have not benefitted. Proper audit should be done of all these other schemes so that we know the number of Kenyans who have benefited. We want to see the face of Kenya. Some women have not gone to school. They may be illiterate or semi-literate. Thanks to the Kenya Kwanza Government that has introduced the Hustler Fund. Today, a poor woman in the village can use her phone and get the money. We were in Sagana the other day and somebody said that the people around that area of Nyeri are doing very well in borrowing the money and transforming their lives. That is what we want to see. In every home, there is one dedicated child and through their phones... The issue of procedures like the board or committee has to sit, or a certain person has to approve, and so on, those things are not there when it comes to the Hustler Fund. They can easily access the money in the Hustler Fund. I encourage Kenyans to make use of this opportunity. Funds are available. Borrow the money and do business. See what you can do so that you can change your life. We are all agents of change. Unfortunately, many of us are not using the opportunity that God has given us to educate our people. Civic education is very important on how to do business and how we can help young people, especially women. When a woman is empowered, the entire society is empowered. I want to encourage women and young people who are sitting at home with their certificates, please, access these funds, do business, and transform your lives so that we can have a better and healthy society. That way, we will also take care of our families in a better way. I support the report."
