In his Excellency’s announcement, NGAAF is being improved with a Ksh 1 Billion fund.
Expressing her joy, Njeri Maina noted
“I want to laud the president for hosting and engaging County Woman MPs across the political divide.
As a goodwill gesture in the discussions to increase the kitty; he has given instructions to have it increased by Kshs. 1 billion in the next financial year.
I have incessantly called for the increase of the kitty so that County MPs are able to execute their mandate.
He has further directed that county Mps shall oversee the distribution of sanitary towels within their respective jurisdictions.
In addition to that, he engaged us on pertinent issues plaguing the management, oversight and execution of our mandate through NGAAF.”
