Keiyo North MP Adams Kipsanai has called on residents from the constituency to register into groups so that they could benefit from various government funds to advance their businesses.
The MP said the government has millions of money being advanced through funds like Uwezo, Youth, Women, and Hustler, which only those in registered groups could access.
He was speaking in Iten town when he distributed Sh10 million to 17 groups comprising boda bodas, women and market traders from the constituency.
The MP said all the groups receiving the funds had undergone training to ensure that the funds were put to proper use and that he would continue monitoring them and offering more training to ensure that the groups benefited from the funds.
“It will be very bad if the funds are misappropriated and thus end up not benefiting the members. That is why I will ensure that there is monitoring of how each group is faring,” said the MP.
He said the distribution of the funds was to fulfil part of his campaign pledge to uplift the lives of his constituents.
The MP said the groups were selected from all four wards in the constituency.
