THE gesture by Kisumu Women Representative
Rose Nyamunga who spent her Easter Holiday at her County in promoting Education
and modern farming has been roundly lauded by electorate who vowed to offer her
another chance in the office.
Unlike many leaders who resorted
to exotic holiday treat, Mrs. Nyamunga opted to connect with the locals and simultaneously
distributed Sanitary Towels to various schools before meeting a host of Women
groups with information on modern farming techniques, a noble step aimed at
promoting food security.
During her Easter Holiday tour at
Masara Primary school Prize giving day and which coincided with the holiday the
Women representative distributed Textbooks, apart from showering with gifts
students and teachers who registered best performance in their particular
subjects.
The move follows her recent
successful visit to UK, where the legislature presented her blue-print to
various investors on viable means to eradicate poverty in Kisumu County through
modern farming.
Addressing farmers at Nyangore in
Muhuroni Constituency, Mrs. Nyamunga revealed that investors are ready to start
an irrigation project within the County for improved for security.
She lamented reports by different
research bodies indicating that Kisumu County locals spend a whooping sh. 75
million everyday in purchasing food stuff adding this has slapped negative
impact on the development front.
According to Nyamunga, the food
security project will also be supervised by other relevant government agencies
including the Ministry of Agriculture and National Irrigation Board.
