Garissa County Jubilee women rep candidate Annab Subow has said she will prioritize women empowerment programmes through Affirmative Action Fund.
Subow said that majority of women in the county have no source of income since have not been empowered by the current women rep.
“Our women are languishing in poverty despite the government having come up with programs to empower them. I blame it on our current women rep Shukran Gure,” Subow told KNA.
“Her style of leadership is wanting. She is a big let down to the people of Garissa County. We must change this on August 8,” she added.
She said that she would closely work with the county government in ensuring that health care was improved in a bid to reduce the mortality rate that she said was still high.
Subow rubbished claims that she is not a strong candidate and denied being a mere beneficiary of the negotiated democracy adding that the people of Garissa have realized that they made a big mistake in electing the incumbent Gure.
“Those saying so either don’t know my strengths or they are just expressing their disgruntlement because their preferred candidates were not picked by the elders,” she said.
