In your response, Waziri, you have said that in addition, the Uwezo Fund has rolled out Wezesha Kazi Majuu product to support the labour mobility, where you are giving loans of up to Kshs200,000 with zero interest rate and eight per cent management fee. My question is, how many people have successfully gotten these Kshs200,000 loan, and how many of those who have been given the Kshs200,000 are abroad working as we speak?"

He has talked about two initiatives, the National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) and the Kenya Jobs Economic Transformation Project (KJET). The CS indicates that they are being rolled out this financial year. Whereas Kenyans are aware of the Hustler Fund, the pros and cons, and the Uwezo Fund, KJET and NYOTA are not very well known amongst Kenyans. Can the CS confirm whether it is possible to use these hon. Senators as promoters and mobilizers for KJET and NYOTA, because they aim at empowering and providing grants to young people at the grassroots? Can the CS also confirm that they will not also be using the networks of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and county governments, which already have their funds? These Senators are available and ready, and they have networks across all polling stations in their jurisdictions. The CS could The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "I do not know why that directive is being given immediately I take the microphone, but I will take it in stride. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his other life, the Cabinet Secretary and I used to agree on how this Hustler Fund needs to be treated. As of September of 2024, data from that Ministry indicates that the default rate was up to 58 per cent. That means approximately 14 million out of the 24 million people who are borrowing on that platform are classified as defaulters. In his other life, the CS was clear that we need to hold the President to his promise that this Hustler Fund was supposed to be a grant and not a loan, therefore, the people who borrowed this money need not pay that money back. That was the position we held together with the CS. I therefore would like him to confirm what plans are in place to make sure that the people who are listed as defaulters of this particular Hustler Fund are made to pay back this money, now that he has taken a diametrically opposite position that this money needs to be paid back. I thank you."

Indeed, if these are the kinds of leaders from the Mulembe nation led by Oparanya and Khalwale, then the Mulembe nation is in safe hands. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Nandi County, there are upcoming co-operative societies like Kipsiele Cooperative Society, Chepterit Women's Star, Kapsaos Coffee Cooperative, Kapkulumben Cooperative Society, Lesos Farmers Cooperative Society and Kabunyeria Farmers Cooperative Society, amongst others. Is there a specific package that the Hustler Fund can give these cooperative societies, so that it can jumpstart and ensure that we do not only capture societies, youth groups and women groups in Nairobi, but also the people who are under the President's agenda of Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Model? I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary not to fear Sen. Sifuna because Sen. Sifuna was told off by Raila over the weekend."
