Women Development fund

The government has enlisted an additional 27 financial institutions as intermediaries for the distribution of the Women Development Fund. Gender Affairs Minister Esther Murugi says among them are two Sharia compliant institutions that will make the monies available to the Muslim community especially in Northern Kenya.

Ms Murungi was responding to queries by MPs Sophia Abdi and Ekwe Ethuro who complained that the funds are not accessible to communities in Northern Kenya.
