By John Kariuki
Kirinyaga County is experiencing a wave of empowerment, thanks to the dynamic leadership of its Woman Representative, Hon. Wakili Njeri Maina—popularly known as Gasheri Gaitu. Through her recent National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) initiative, she has placed women at the heart of economic growth and community upliftment.
In a vibrant event attended by women from across the county, Hon. Njeri Maina distributed Women Economic Empowerment Cheques to organized groups. This transformative program aims to invigorate small-scale businesses, bolster local women-led enterprises, and inject capital into sustainable, self-sufficient ventures. The excitement and gratitude of beneficiaries filled the air, marking a moment of genuine change for Kirinyaga’s Wanjiku.
“Empowering women is not just about financial support; it’s about restoring dignity, building strong families, and creating pathways to economic freedom,” Hon. Njeri declared. Her message resonated with the energized crowd, sparking applause and a renewed sense of optimism.
The event’s impact was amplified by the presence of Kirinyaga Senator Kamau Murango and Baragwi MCA Hon. David Mathenge, underscoring a united front in delivering tangible benefits to the people. Their collaborative spirit showcased a model of leadership committed to real, grassroots change.
What sets Hon. Njeri Maina apart is her tireless dedication, youthful vigor, and authentic connection with her constituents. Whether it’s championing women’s rights, promoting education, or expanding economic opportunities, she’s proving that impactful leadership is defined by action—not empty promises.
In a county celebrated for its rich agricultural heritage and industrious people, this NGAAF initiative marks a pivotal stride toward inclusive growth. Hon. Njeri Maina is doing more than issuing cheques—she’s transforming lives, one group at a time.
As she aptly puts it, “Tupange Kesho”—let’s plan for tomorrow. And with visionary leaders like Njeri Maina at the helm, the future for Kirinyaga’s women is bright and promising.
