In Nakuru County all is set for the Day.
According to Nakuru County chief officer Gender, Culture and Social Services Tume Abduba, the event will be a unique one.
Tume said the event will be held at the Shabab Social Hall grounds in Nakuru West.
“We realized that women lack knowledge and skills and that is why we decided this year’s event will be different from the past. We have organized that service deliverers from different departments will be present and women will be allowed to raise their questions and get responses. It will be open as possible,” said Tume.
She appealed to women to make good use of the day to learn more from various departments within the county.
