Controversies around the Hustler Fund, and the reforms of the coffee sector that have been brewing for ages, are some of the misses of former Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Co-operatives and Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Simon Chelugui's docket.

Just days before the sacking of all CSs, Chelugui was fighting to defend the integrity of President Ruto's pet project, the Hustler Fund, in the wake of revelations by the Auditor General that loans were being issued above the maximum amount and to unregistered members.
