AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL HUSTLERS OUT THERE.

Let me first with salutations and I hope you are all doing fine out there. I hope you woke up today full of energy , zeal , gusto and temerity ready to hustle and bustle as you hunt for today's bread amid skyrocketing high cost of living. I know you have adjusted your lifestyles inorder to conform with the prevailing Economic situations in our Country. I fully understand how things are difficult because, me too , I am too experiencing it and I can attest , things aren't that cosy. Something urgent must be done by the very goverment that promised to turn around the economic situations especially on the biting high cost of living. It is through that platform that they capitalized on to woo voters especially the hustlers to rise into power. Or you people , are you aware why you were labelled hustlers by political elites whom contributed so much to hole you in the economic conditions you are in today? They are bourgeoisies and owners of capital. The people you called you hustlers aren't part of you. You don't belong to the same social , political and economic strata but you didn't want to dig deep why??

Dear Hustlers , you must love one another and keep this in mind that , it is only by sticking together that you will achieve greatness. Without being poised by politicians for their own political expediencies , the hustle who is Kimani and the other who is Otieno , who reside in gatwekera in Kibra are co-existing peaceful. They are tied by the same social and economic fabric , which is : Poverty. They have no energy to fight the other at this particular moment because of politics. What they are doing is to bringing their heads together in their quest to find solutions on how to navigate through the murky and rugged terrain of Economic hardships. There is no way out but to continue struggling and hoping that things will done for the better in due time because if this continues this way , more hustlers will continue falling into stress and depression that is making them to commit suicide , kill their partners in marriage and their colleagues on slight provocation. This are symptoms of people who are undergoing depression due to the ongoing hard economic situations. When you hear poverty kills , it kills this way.

When Kenya Kwanza Alliance led by its presidential candidate William Ruto and his running mate Rigathi Gachagua now president and deputy president respectively were doing campaigns , they were promising hustlers alot of goodies. Yes!!  Manna like goodies and the pinnacle of this promises was to reduce the cost of living and especially the price of maize flour and cooking oil. It is now almost 35th day since the duo weee sworn in. The hustlers , who they rode on their shoulders to rise to power are still lining their empty bows and sufurias waiting to be feed with the cheap commodities they were promised. Hustlers are now complaining. They feel they were duped and conned. When they remember , they were told that , the cost of living and a dilapidated economy was caused by the Handshake brothers ( Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga) , they feel their hearts as if it has been pricked by sharp objects. They feel worn out , beaten and emaciated.

Deare Hustlers , all is not lost and the only thing which will keep you going is hope. By now , you have realized whst is promised or advertised in the political open air market is not what is delivered. Those who have ever been conned along luthuli avenue can fully understand what I mean. Politics is the art of making your personal interests look like national interests. That's why the hustler narrative was crafted and you were poisoned that , you don't sleep in a good place , reside in posh estates , don't drive a SUV and you are confined to use footsubishi or PSV vehicles because of the dynasties. You were poisoned that , those coining the narrative to hoodwink you are the panacea to your problems. What you forgot to understand and decipher is , they have been in the government more than three decades and if they meant well for you , they would have made your life better longtime ago. Not now. Dear Hustlers , it is our time to eat is the new narrative now. It long replaced the hustler narrative immediately after the August 9th general elections. I am talking to your inner selfs. I fully the kind of frustrations and agony boiling inside your hearts and minds. It is doing it vigorously than the magma inside the volcanic Mt Nyarigongo in the DRC. 

The Hustlers fund will be out by December 1st this year. It is a fund which President Ruto promised you during the campaign season. In every region , county , Constituency and village he was taking his campaigns , he was not feeling shy or forgetting to remind you that , if he clinches power , his Goverment will set aside sh 50 Billion for the hustlers. What he didn't tell you is how to receive this monies. For the few who we were interacting with , you were chiding me that , it will be different from Uwezo and Youth funds. That is , the bottlenecks attached to the former won't be attached to the hustlers fund. I know in your mind , you thought the hustlers fund will be dished like the campaign monies. What you didn't understand is that , the government is a bureaucracy. Yes!!! Government funds aren't dished in a haphazard manner. We have thr controller of budget, the office of the auditor general and the public finance and management act to ensure goverment public funds are put in tht right use and given in accordance to the law. For you to access this funds SD per the executive order the President gave the other day , modalities on how to access this funds is well laid out. This is where the straw will break the camel's back. A majority of you won't make it in as far as fulfilling this requirements is concerned.

The best synchronization will be to continue taking loans from online lenders as you have been doing as many have already vowed to do. They are saying that the older wife is sometimes better than the mistress. It is good that, the government in collaboration with online lenders especially fuliza have created a level playing ground which isn't exploitative. This is where dear Hustlers will continue getting respite for your Economic solutions. The only group thet is in a pole position to access this hustlers funds is already established medium and small microenterprises (MSMEs). Fact!!! So , that boda boda guy(s) , Mama mboga , jamaa wa mkokoteni etc , for you to access this funds, you must be in a group and not as an individual. This is where the point of inflection is holed and majority won't take this route. The culture of dishonesty in this Country is bigger than the cost of living especially from the very hustlers who should be uniting inorder to benefit from this fund. Dear Hustlers , the reality of the matter is , hakuna pesa za bure( there is no free money). This kitty isn't a grant but a loan only that it isn't corporate banks or Saccos which are giving it but the government. Hustlers , that's how things are and I know you people , the only thing which is worrying you now is the cost of living. And may I ask , do we a Mama mboga , jamaa wa mkokoteni , jamaa wa kinyozi who made in the shortlist of Principal Secretaries or any who is facing the National Assembly committee on appointments for Cabinet Secretary nominee slot?? Oops , let me not spike your adrenaline in the wrong way. I hope you are preparing yourself for December 1st , let me hope so.

Yours Faithfully.

An emancipated Hustler.
