An audit of the Hustler Fund loans disbursed in the financial year to June 2024 has revealed serious anomalies in the dates of birth of the beneficiaries amid revelations that some of them were either below the legal cut-off age of 18 or had not been born by the time the cash was disbursed.
The review by Auditor General Nancy Gathungu revealed that Sh 31,817,085 Hustler Fund loans were dished out to 44,167 borrowers in the year to June 30, 2024, even though the indicated dates of birth of the recipients showed that they were either underage or unborn at the time.
