Friday December 16, 2022 – President William Ruto has received a huge boost in his US trip.
This is after he secured billions of shillings for his Hustler Fund project.
An American multinational financial services corporation, Visa Inc., has pledged to support Ruto’s Hustler Fund by injecting billions into the project.
According to Ruto, Visa Inc. will partner with the Hustler Fund to facilitate faster access to credit.
The Head of State announced this partnership after meeting the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Alfred F. Kelly Jr., in Washington, D.C, US, on Wednesday.
“Kenya recognizes the crucial role that Visa continues to play in powering diaspora remittances and investment.”
“We welcome the company’s interest in partnering with the Hustler Fund to facilitate faster access,” the President indicated.
The development came moments after Visa announced that the company was investing Ksh123 billion ($1 billion) in Africa over the next five years.
“This investment will go towards scaling our operations across the continent, driving innovation and technology, and we want to support President Ruto’s Hustler Fund,” Kelly Jr. confirmed.
As of December 12, 2022, approximately 15 million customers opted into the Hustler Fund, borrowing up to Ksh7.54 billion.
Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary, Simon Chelugui, also revealed that loan repayment for the fund hit Ksh1.2 billion on December 12, 2022.
According to President Ruto, the intake into the fund signified Kenyan’s trust in both the Hustler Fund and the Kenya Kwanza administration.
