So, where are the big ideas on the best ways of managing the ‘Hustler Fund’— one of the signature policy programmes for President William Ruto’s administration?
The other day, I sat at an auditorium at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) following proceedings at a ceremony where President Ruto had been invited to launch the NSE marketplace. One of the keynote speakers at the event, Co-operative Bank CEO Gideon Muiruki, made a very strong case for the cooperative movement, arguing that the sector was best placed to roll out a well-managed and sustainable affordable credit scheme for marginalised groups.
