Kenya: Uwezo Fund recipients have been urged to use their loans prudently and for the intended purpose in order to lift their socio-economic status and create more jobs.
Uwezo Fund Oversight Board Secretariat’s acting Chief Executive Officer Wilfred Buyema also cautioned the fund’s recipients against misusing the cash on luxuries or engaging in other uneconomic ventures which may lead to failing to repay their loans. Addressing people at the Jomo Kenyatta Primary School in Msambweni Constituency, Kwale County on Monday, Mr Buyema said Uwezo Fund’s major objective was to expand access to finances among the youth, women and persons living with disability at the constituency level for economic growth and realisation of Vision 2030.
