Kwale Governor Fatuma Achani has announced that her administration will continue to award government tenders to companies led by women, youth, and persons with disabilities, as part of the county's economic empowerment programme. This initiative has enabled thousands of residents to access government contracts and improve their livelihoods, according to Achani.
Despite criticism from some politicians in Kwale, Achani dismissed their concerns, stating that her opponents have no record of development initiatives to present to voters. The county government has transformed over 6,000 village savings and loan associations into group-led limited companies, with more than 450 of these companies securing tenders from the county government.
Beneficiaries of the county tenders, Luvuno Mshenga and Janet Mukulwa, shared that the contracts have improved their livelihoods and provided economic opportunities within their communities.
