 Hi, how are you? I hope you're doing well. My name is Mdanya and welcome to SPM Buzz. Today, we are here at Green Park Terminal, so the setup of the Hassler Fund is happening. The main function is supposed to be happening tomorrow, but some of the people who are here already are Denisi Toombi, Shafi Uweru, among others. But you know what? Tomorrow, the main Hassler himself, Mr. President, will be here among other delegates. Let's see how it goes down tomorrow. Thanks for coming, everyone who is here. I can see the exact preparation for tomorrow. So this afternoon, we've come here and I'm accompanied by the President of the National Chamber of Commerce, Richard Ngathia. Sorry, Richard Ngathia and Dr. Ruto is the Vice. I'm also accompanied by the PSS from the Ministry of Cooperative and MSME, Patrick Lemme, Cooperative and Susan Mangheny MSME. And also those who have been working with me in terms of communication and those who have organized this event led by the chair, Mr. Uwira. This afternoon is to familiarize ourselves and appreciate the level of preparation that we have that has gone on here as we wait for tomorrow, which is the official launch of the Hassler Fund. Hassler Fund is an intervention that is going to address a number of challenges that many Kenyans have gone through. And it is a fund that will be revolutionary as far as lending in Kenya is concerned, particularly digital lending. So I am happy with the preparation. I'm happy with all those who have worked with us from the day this idea came about and the progress we've made, the discussions we've made, and now we are about to launch this product. Many Kenyans are waiting for it. Many Kenyans out there have been, some of them have been closed out of the financial circle and tomorrow is their day. So I want to appeal to all the Hasslers, those who do many kinds of jobs. They work hard. They toil. They wake up in the morning. Sometimes they suffer because of access to affordable credit. Tomorrow is their day. So government has done its part. The stakeholders have done their part. And this evening or this afternoon, the presence of the Chamber of Commerce and all business associations have also seen the Chuakali Association Managing Director here in the group. It means the kind of acceptance that this product is bringing. So for me, I am so happy that this is now coming to reality. Tomorrow event will start at 9 o'clock. We expect our guests, our visitors, and we have invited as many as possible. We've invited from government and private sector and our development partners. And we are expecting everyone to be seated by 9 o'clock. The guest of honor will be the head of state. His Excellency, Dr. William Somoe Ruto. He will be expected to arrive here at around 10 o'clock. And he will start with the market and then now proceed to the main hall. So we expect the highlight of the event will be the official launch and testing to see access to the Hassler Fund. That will be the highlight of tomorrow. So other than the other events, the normal events of a function, that is the highlight and the climax of tomorrow. Thank you very much. Now, we have planned all these issues tomorrow. We will be answering you. We're even ready. We'll break down. So I don't want to preempt what we are going to do tomorrow. Why don't you wait? It's only 12 hours from now and we'll have them. We have, that's why I'm saying the launch will explain the source and the course of the funds. Tomorrow is not far. We have worked hard. We have worked with partners. We have worked with and even government committed itself. So we are working hard to ensure that our assaults get the promise that was given to them during, for Kenyans who are given a promise and Kenyans who are in an engagement that was conversed across the country, raised the issue of access to affordable credit. And I'm happy that majority of those in digital field are also responding. I'm seeing now very positive messages. I've seen also financial institutions enhancing the allocation towards the small holder businesses. This is positive reaction to the intervention. I've also seen limits being set. I've seen raised. So the hustlers are beginning to get recognition. When you begin to get messages from a digital lender telling you, dear, so and so, then you can see things are, the response is positive. So we will be able to address that. And that is a question. The funding is an issue is a try. It's a multi agency approach. My role is to implement the fund and treasury and financial institutions execute or source for money. But even beyond that, we are encouraging institution to merge this fund. We are encouraging development partners to come along with us because they have been looking for an avenue to support this, the people at the bottom of the pyramid. Now there's a chance. Now there's a way. Thank you. Yes, even you. Yeah, we expect 100 percent cover to all those who have been locked out. We expect anyone we have done a survey, we have found the number of Kenyans who have been in this bracket. So we are expecting to start this process, considering all applicants, no discrimination, no favoritism. It's a universal fund. No, we have not launched the fund. So we will we will learn the fund at 11. And that is when we expect you even yourself to test. So and there is no there is no forum to receive applications. We don't have a committee. We don't have a community. We don't have a group. Everybody is free. You only have a meeting with your phone and yourself. Given the rule of published by treasury. Yeah, that is not true. Youth fund is anchored on an executive order and up to date has operated on the executive order. And it has done a lot many things to in support of young people. This fund has gone through all the legal processes. We tabled and submitted these regulations after they were passed by cabinet before a house committee delegated legislation. I personally sat in that meeting, submitted the regulations, went through the public participation, received over 2,200 comments, and all those comments have been incorporated. These are the legal processes that we assigned ourselves through the last, the new constitution, the delegated legislation, the committee on delegated legislation has given us the guide. And that is the only committee in parliament that is able to that is able to give consent and authority pending the full house approval. Who is it? Who is exactly an asla? A asla is a very, is a Kenyan who wakes up at 4 a.m. Works hard, toils, borrows money, pays money. A asla is not a poor man. A asla is a hardworking person who who yarns and desires a better life, a good life. A person who starts low and rises to be a big man. A person who sweats and toils and pays taxes. That is a asla. Come again. Why don't you allow me to give you that answer tomorrow? That's it, that's it.
