STORY By BRIAN MUSYOKA
As opposition leaders continue to sharply criticize the empowerment programs spearheaded by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, Embu Senator Alexander Mundigi has come to his defense. The senator dismissed the opposition’s claims, arguing that their resistance is driven by selfish interests rather than genuine concerns for public accountability.
Speaking during the ACK Diocese of Embu Education Sunday at St. Anne's Kiriari Girls Secondary School, Mundigi emphasized that the empowerment initiative was intended to stimulate economic growth among small enterprises and uplift disadvantaged individuals at the grassroots level.
He likened the program to other government development projects aimed at expanding the nation’s wealth through inclusive development for all citizens.
The senator further claimed that those opposing the empowerment efforts are leaders who prefer keeping the public economically vulnerable in order to exploit them for political gain.
He also extended an invitation to President William Ruto and Deputy President Prof Kithure Kindiki to continue rolling out the empowerment programs in Embu, highlighting the potential benefits for youth and women groups who rely on such financial support to grow their businesses.
