📻 Breaking It Down

Addressing women’s groups and residents in Suna East Constituency, Migori County, Omollo praised local women for forming self-help groups and engaging in income-generating activities that are improving household incomes and strengthening communities.

He said empowering women economically translates into stronger families, better educational outcomes for children and more resilient communities.

“Women play a central role in national development, and when they are empowered economically, the entire community benefits,” he said.

Omollo also highlighted the government’s continued investment in education, noting that the sector receives the largest allocation of the national budget.

He said the recruitment of more than 100,000 teachers in less than three years demonstrates the government’s commitment to ensuring every child has access to quality education.

“We do not want any child to miss the opportunity to learn because of a lack of teachers. That is why the Government continues to invest heavily in education to secure the future of our children and our country,” he said.

On healthcare, the Principal Secretary urged residents to register with the Social Health Authority (SHA), saying the programme is helping millions of Kenyans access medical services without suffering financial hardship.

He noted that more than 54 per cent of Migori County residents have already enrolled under SHA and encouraged those yet to register to do so in order to benefit from affordable healthcare.

Omollo also welcomed reforms that have simplified access to national identity cards, saying the removal of administrative barriers has enabled more Kenyans to obtain the crucial document and access government services.
