Kerugoya, Kirinyaga County – Kirinyaga County Assembly Speaker has praised the Economic Empowerment Programme launched in Kerugoya as a powerful example of policy meeting real-life impact.
Speaking during the event graced by Deputy President H.E. Prof. Kithure Kindiki, the Speaker underscored the importance of aligning national economic goals with the day-to-day needs of local communities. “Economic transformation takes root when strategic policy meets the everyday realities of the people,” the Speaker said.
Under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), 40 women groups—representing over 6,000 members—received tools and capital to scale up their income-generating ventures. The support is aimed at enhancing sustainable livelihoods, strengthening household resilience, and unlocking community potential.
The event drew key leaders including National Assembly Majority Leader Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, Hon. Gachoki Gitari (MP, Kirinyaga Central), Hon. Mary Maingi (MP, Mwea), and members of the County Assembly of Kirinyaga.
“We remain committed to practical interventions that uplift lives, empower our people, and build lasting economic strength from the ground up,” the Speaker affirmed.
