By Wasike Elvis

 In a significant move to support local businesswomen, Moiben Member of Parliament (MP) Prof. Phylis Bartoo has delivered on her promise to provide essential resources to the hardworking "Mama Mboga" vendors at Moiben Market. On this occasion, the MP handed out business umbrellas to the women, a gesture aimed at improving their working conditions and helping to address some of the critical challenges they face.

"Today, we are taking a meaningful step in supporting our hardworking businesswomen. These umbrellas are not just a small gift but an impactful way to shield them from the intense sun and protect them from the rain, which has often made their work difficult," Prof. Bartoo said.

The umbrellas, which will provide shade during the scorching heat and shelter from the rain, will help ensure that these women can continue selling their fresh produce in a more comfortable and sustainable environment. Heatstroke and discomfort from working in extreme weather conditions have been long-standing issues for many of these vendors, and the provision of the umbrellas is a significant effort to alleviate those hardships.

In addition to the umbrellas, MP Bartoo reaffirmed her commitment to further supporting the local vendors by collaborating with the county government to create a more comfortable and conducive working environment. "We are not stopping here. I will work closely with the county government to ensure that Moiben Market is upgraded in ways that will increase sales and improve the productivity of our local businesswomen," she added.

The initiative is expected to have a lasting positive impact on the livelihoods of the "Mama Mboga" vendors, ensuring they can continue contributing to the local economy while working in better conditions. Prof. Bartoo's leadership in advocating for the welfare of these women marks an important step in empowering the community and promoting economic growth in the region.
