Ruto allies defend hustler fund, slam KHRC report as political

A section of members of parliament allied to the Kenya Kwanza administration have strongly rejected a report by the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) that called for the scrapping of the hustler fund. Speaking during an empowerment in Makueni County, the lawmakers dismissed the report as politically motivated propaganda. They defended the fund as a lifeline for economically marginalized Kenyans, arguing that critics of the initiative are individuals who do not rely on it for support.
