@HustleYako We can sit in a history lesson as we have been doing for the past almost 60 years, licking our wounds or begin to fix things. I choose the latter.

STATEMENT ON @HUSTLEYAKO INITIATIVE'S POSITION ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

We feel it prudent to respond to sentiments from quarters against the empowerment of Career Professionals, Entrepreneurs and Business People who are at the bottom of the economic pyramid.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako We want everyone to earn. We want everyone to thrive - be it on the golden-plated desks or in the dusty marketplace. Leadership is about fixing the economy.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako Leadership is about empathy. Leadership is about providing solutions for all, not just the 'chosen few.' Kenya desperately needs a new crop of leaders who will change the narrative. Kenya needs a new crop of leaders who will change policy and reset government priorities.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako We can't all be fortune 500 company CEOs either. However, we can all thrive in whatever we choose to do and we can all make money, feed our families and get ahead, regardless of our station in life.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako For the record, the #HustleYako Development Agenda & Youth Movement has never been & will never be elitist. Those side-chatting us saying we can't fit in car wash business or fruit vending in market also need to know that we can't all sit in carpeted offices with glass ceilings.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako Young people and the business community at large just need an enabling environment to trade. The truth is that this government has intentionally sabotaged the economy via state capture, draconian policies and commercial suppression.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako We stand with those who are persevering all forms of agony every single day as they struggle to make ends meet.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako For the longest time, government has neglected the informal sector. This oversight needs to be corrected. This sector needs to be prioritized. Note, majority of Kenyans are in the informal sector not by choice, but to make ends meet. There are no jobs. Businesses have collapsed.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako Every hustle matters. Every Career, Business or Entrepreneurial Venture needs to be respected. Be it being an IT Firm CEO or a Hustler selling fruits - every hustle matters! We will not desist from empowering those who are in the blue-collar jobs to better sustain themselves.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako Equitable distribution of resources for us means giving everyone a chance to make it in life and putting everyone in a position to win.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako The status quo is such that most Kenyans are living below a dollar a day (100 bob per day i.e. less than 3k per month). The status quo is that a very few number are minting millions.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako Many of those who brush off the empowerment of the downtrodden are Kenya's greatest enemies of development. Why should it make people so angry to see a mama mboga, a chali wa mtura or a bodaboda rider getting ahead? Because it will distablize the status quo.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako However, an empowered man or woman is an independent mind, a thinker and a choice maker.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako Folks, poverty has been used by those who govern as a tool to politically suppress Kenyan citizens. The rationale is that people who are poor are easily manipulated by desperate exchange of coin accompanied by propaganda.

[254 Cares @254Cares]

@HustleYako Is there a better way than to change their circumstances, amplify their plight and force gate-keepers to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive?
