Ruto maintained that just like the Hustler Fund, his promises to Kenyans in his manifesto would be actualised. The president added that the manifesto guided his administration in formulating policies to change Kenyan lives. "I promised you that we would have a specific plan or treasury for the Hustler Fund; today marks one year of the Hustler Fund. And I have some words to say about this Hustler Fund. People thought it was a joke, that the Hustler Fund is just talk. What I told you is that the manifesto we wrote is not a meat-wrapping newspaper, it was a government policy that would change the lives of the citizens," Ruto said.

Ruto claimed interventions by his government had started to bear fruits, and the cost of living was becoming bearable for most.  "I want to say because of the decision we have made over the last one year, today I can comfortably tell the nation that Kenya is now on a sound economic footing. I want to tell the nation the interventions we've made in addressing the big matter of the cost of living are beginning to bear fruit," he added. How Kenya's revenue collection has increased Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported that Ruto's administration had collected over KSh 684 billion in four months since the implementation of the Finance Act 2023. The National Treasury reported an increase in tax revenue of 12.63% to KSh 684.75 billion in the four months to October 2023. The increase in revenue is attributed to new measures and taxes proposed in the controversial Finance Act 2023.
