Ndindi Nyoro, a member of parliament for Kiharu, has commended the policies implemented by William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza administration.
According to Nyoro, these policies positively impact hustlers' lives, and since Kenya Kwanza took office, their situation has improved significantly.
In an appearance on NTV, the lawmaker shared his thoughts on what he thinks the government has done well.
"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 shared his thoughts on the main areas in which the Kenya Kwanza government's policies were being felt.
"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 also said that although the government's educational reforms—especially the complex Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)—are expensive and complicated, they are nevertheless necessary.
"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 claimed that emphasizing the material is a misconception and a misrepresentation of the work done by the government.
"We frequently mistake economic growth for economic development..." What are we doing and examining with these focused areas where we are allocating public funds?" he asked.
