The National Assembly’s Special Funds Committee is considering consolidating numerous government affirmative action funds, including the Uwezo Fund, due to a severe lack of accountability and significant financial mismanagement. This comes after the Uwezo Fund failed to adequately respond to critical audit queries by the Office of the Auditor General. Committee Chair Fatuma Zainab warned of broader restructuring if non-compliance continues.

• Over KSh 4 billion in outstanding loans from the Uwezo Fund (2022/2023) were not recovered, ballooning to over KSh 5 billion in the subsequent year.
• The National Assembly’s Special Funds Committee, chaired by Fatuma Zainab, expressed concern over the fund's weak financial management and recovery structures.
• Up to 75 percent of disbursed loans across the Uwezo Fund, Women Enterprise Fund, and Youth Fund remain unpaid, prompting calls for consolidation to curb 'wastage'.
