PS. Susan Auma Mang'eni Cbs: We are deepening financial inclusion by introducing a national credit scoring system that will enable Kenyans to leverage their credit history, including their Hustler Fund repayment history, to improve their access to credit.

This will help MSMEs access financing without relying solely on traditional collateral, such as logbooks and title deeds, thereby unlocking much-needed growth capital.
