Ninety per cent of Kenya’s 290 constituencies have not revolved a single cent of the multi-billion shilling Uwezo Fundkitty set up by the government in 2014, it has emerged.

The revelations, through an Uwezo Fund Oversight Board report, came as Kiharu constituency was ranked as the foremost in terms of absorption and re-taking of the loans meant for youth, women and persons with disability.
