Moisbridge MCA Patrick Kimeli
In a major step towards inclusive development, Moisbridge Ward Member of the County Assembly (MCA) Bishop Patrick Kimeli has spearheaded the development of a new policy aimed at ensuring equal participation of all genders in the nation’s economic growth. The initiative, which brings together the Chief Officer (CO), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and the committee, seeks to empower women and marginalized communities by fostering an environment of inclusivity across various sectors.
The policy focuses on several key areas to support the economic and social well-being of all Kenyans. Chief among these goals is the promotion of women’s empowerment, particularly in decision-making positions, economic activities, and leadership roles. The policy also emphasizes financial inclusion, with initiatives to increase women’s access to credit, savings, and business opportunities, as well as ensuring equal access to training, employment, and skill development programs.
“We are committed to building a society where no one is left behind, regardless of their gender, tribe, or beliefs,” said Bishop Patrick Kimeli. “This policy aims to break barriers and create equal opportunities for all, ensuring everyone has the chance to succeed and contribute to the country’s development.”
One of the key components of the policy is healthcare accessibility, ensuring that both women and men, particularly in underserved areas, have access to quality healthcare services. In addition, the policy focuses on expanding trade opportunities and market access, especially for women entrepreneurs, by providing necessary resources and information on market trends and opportunities.
Recognizing the importance of technology in driving economic growth, the policy also seeks to enhance access to technology and digital platforms, which will open new avenues for trade, employment, and education.
The initiative has already received widespread support from various stakeholders, including women’s rights groups, community leaders, and economic development advocates. The policy is expected to make a significant impact on the lives of many, particularly in rural and marginalized communities.
As the policy progresses, MCA Bishop Patrick Kimeli has pledged to continue advocating for its full implementation, ensuring that it leads to real, positive change for all members of society. He emphasized the need for ongoing collaboration between government, civil society, and the private sector to achieve the policy’s goals.
“This is just the beginning,” Bishop Kimeli concluded. “We must work together to make sure that every individual has the chance to thrive, regardless of their background or gender. This policy is a major step toward a fairer, more inclusive society.”
The new policy is expected to be reviewed by county and national government stakeholders before being officially implemented.
