 BY OMARI AKELLO

Kisumu County women  representative Rose Nyamunga now hots up her drive to ensure that Women and Youth groups in Nyanza province operate under SACCO umbrellas.

In the past few weeks Nyamunga has criss-crossed the region with her team  educating locals on the benefit of forming SACCOs.

She kicked off the drive at Ojola in Kisumu County and has managed to visit several other places including Seme,Nyando and Nyakach.



Recently, Nyamunga told boda boda operators and those in the matatu sector in the region to embrace the idea noting that it has worked well in other areas across the country.



Speaking after presiding over a funds drive to over 200 boda boda operators at Ojola Kisumu County, Nyamunga said she was ready to exploit her position in ensuring that Youths in the region realize full development through SACCOs.

And while speaking in a separate meeting in a Kisumu hotel where women from the region were train women on how to access and handle Uwezo funds, Nyamunga urged the beneficiaries not to divert the funds to other avenues but to channel it to the intended purposes.


She said Uwezo fund was all round friendly unlike other lenders with the history of harassing their beneficiaries despite the high interest rate slapped on them.

Nyamunga pledged that immediately after the women benefited from the Uwezo fund she would introduce fish farming projects across the county and would ensure that every village prospers in every project they have identified.
