Kenya Human Rights Commission Calls for Hustler Fund Shutdown Over Failed Objectives and KSh 10 Billion Defaults - August 2025

The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) has repeatedly called for the complete dismantling of the Hustler Fund. Citing profound structural deficiencies, the KHRC states the fund has failed to meet its goals of poverty alleviation and financial inclusion. A critical report, "Failing to Fund Human Rights and Development," asserts that the fund is a 'colossal failure' after three years. The demand for dissolution comes amidst scrutiny over an alleged 10 billion Kenyan Shilling default in loan repayments, raising questions about management and accountability.
