Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya on Saturday fulfilled part of his promise to support community-driven development by presenting a cheque worth Sh2.3 million to the Kiminini farmers’ SACCO.
The SACCO is among many other beneficiaries of the National Agricultural and Rural Inclusive Growth Project (NARIGP).
NARIGP aims to boost the country’s agriculture and improve the livelihoods of rural communities by strengthening producer organizations.
One way of achieving this is by providing the necessary funding and technical assistance to such organizations.
In this case, the farmers’ SACCO will use the funds to invest in income-generating activities that will see an improvement in the standard of living of its members.
Governor Natembeya understands the importance of empowering the people and is committed to fulfilling his promises to improve the lives of residents of Trans Nzoia.
The presentation of the cheque is a significant step in ensuring that every member of the Kiminini farmers’ SACCO is included in the economic growth of the region.
The Governor was accompanied by the County Secretary Mrs Truphosa Amere, CEC PSM Mr Samson Ojwang, CEC Agriculture Phanice Khatundi among others,
Also in attendance were key members of the NARIGP leadership team.
