Ruto’s policies have improved the lives of hustlers Ndindi Nyoro says

Nyoro believes that these policies are making a tangible difference in the lives of the hustlers and that hustlers are in a “much better “position since Kenya Kwanza came to power.

The parliamentarian provided his insights on what he believes the government has done right during an appearance on NTV on Wednesday.

“The institutions of the world, including World Bank, in the first quarter of 2023 grew by 5.3% and by the way, Kenyan economy was the 29 fastest growing economy in the world… so what am I trying to say yes there are issues that we must improve… but we're not so badly off,” Nyoro declared.

“The hustler is much better now with the kind of policies we have,” he continued.

Nyoro gave his opinion on the key areas where the policies of the Kenya Kwanza government were making an impact.

" When you look at industrialization, this is just about employment. Who are being employed? It is the Kenyan people who are majorly hustlers and currently don't have jobs," Nyoro said.

"Housing, majorly, is not about people earning homes. It's not about people owning homes per se; it is also about Kenyans who have no income getting some income by getting jobs. Both directly and much more directly by creating multiplying effects and backward integrations, "he continued.

Nyoro further acknowledged that the government's educational reforms—particularly the intricate Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)—are challenging and costly, but otherwise essential.

"We had to bite the bullet and cannot continue postponing a good thing. So, we laid it bare and started implementing it with full knowledge that it's not cheap. But you can do the math between the labour force you want to harness and the expenditure of that education system," he said.

Nyoro stated that focusing on the tangible is a misconception and misrepresentation of the government's performance.

 "Many times, we confuse economic development with economic growth…What are we doing and what are we looking at through these targeted areas that we are investing public money, “ he said.
