Thursday, December 1, 2022 –President William Ruto faced a ‘Hustlers Fund’ hitch during its launch today in Nairobi.
The president who was also testing the App live in public faced some difficulties accessing the funds immediately after an automatic message prompted him to wait for 30 minutes of approval.
The head of State was using USSD code *254# to access the new loan facility live during an event organized at the Green Park Terminus on Wednesday November 30.
And when he dialed the USSD code, the president received a message prompt saying retry after 30 minutes, sending everyone in moments of anxiety.
“Dear customer, please try again after 30 minutes,” the message read as Ruto and his deputy Gachagua waited with abated breath.
It would later allow him to take a sh 2,200 loan.
