Kenya Kwanza MPs have defended the Hustler Fund, dismissing a report by the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) that called for its scrapping as politically motivated propaganda. They argued the fund is a lifeline for economically marginalized Kenyans, while criticizing the KHRC report as economically flawed.

• Kenya Kwanza MPs, including Mwala MP Vincent Musau and Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse, defended the Hustler Fund during an empowerment event in Makueni County.
• The KHRC report criticized the fund for failing to deliver financial empowerment to low-income Kenyans.
• The lawmakers, led by President William Ruto’s aide Farouk Kibet, also criticized former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of advancing tribal politics and having "zero achievements" during his tenure.
