Kenyans Petition William Ruto’s Gov’t to Lower Food Prices; President Ruto’s Secret Plan For Meeting COTU Boss Francis Atwoli & KCSE examinations kick-off

Goodmorning

Today is a big day for President Ruto’s PSs as they are set to be sworn in at an event that will be presided over by the head of state at the statehouse.

Their swearing-in process comes a day after the parliament on Thursday approved their appointment and a month since President Ruto unveiled the list.

After the unveiling of the list, the government faced backlash from lobby groups as well as other Kenyans faulting Ruto’s choice. The court however threw out a case that was pushing for the vetting process of the PSs to be stopped; a move that was a big win for Ruto’s government.

In other news, the government has clarified why Kenyans are asked for their MPESA pin before accessing loans from the hustler fund which was launched on Wednesday.

In a detailed response, the government explained that the pin is a requirement since there is a need to know where the money will be disbursed and the details of the individual applying for the loan.

As of Thursday at 8:30 PM, the platform had 1.6 million registered members, with borrowers at 683,000 while the amount borrowed by the same time was Ksh.413 million.
