While speaking in Mtwapa, Mombasa County the DP explained that the fund would be used to support “hustlers”.
He outlined that each of the 290 constituencies would receive a Sh100 million fund to support small businesses.
“When I talk about changing the way things are done in this country to help the small traders, some people get angry with me. I do not say what I do not know. I have thought about it and I know it can be done,” he stated.

He further argued that the current NG-CDF set at Sh100 million per constituency is proof that a further Sh100 million can be dedicated to the traders.
The Sh29 billion promise is the first of DP Ruto’s would-be manifesto for his run at the presidency.
