Azimio la Umoja spokesperson Professor Makau Mutua has opined that the Hustler Fund would collapse as the government had no capacity to go after defaulters and so are the borrowers of the money have the ability to repay.

Mutua’s sentiments come after Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna encouraged Kenyans to borrow the money saying there was no legal recourse for the government to come after them because of not paying back.

Concurring with Sifuna’s sentiments, Mutua shared, “The government has no capacity, or political resolve, to go after defaulters of the so-called Hustler Fund, nor do most borrowers have the ability to repay. This is a witches’ brew that will turn the fund into nonsense on stilts. It will collapse in a heap of recriminations.”
