Over 900 community groups in Makueni County are set to benefit from interest-free loans as the county prepares for the full rollout of the Makueni County Empowerment Fund (MCEF).

The rollout follows a successful pilot programme in which KSh 2.05 million was disbursed to 44 groups, all of which successfully repaid the loans within the agreed timelines. Building on this performance, the County Government has allocated KSh 160 million for the full programme, targeting 30 groups in each ward.

On Wednesday, County Executive Committee Member for Gender, Children, Youth, Sports and Social Services, Eng. Sebastian Kyoni, chaired a review meeting with MCEF focal persons, during which the go-ahead for the full rollout was given.

The expanded programme will combine access to affordable financing with capacity building. Beneficiary groups will undergo training, while Ward Development Officers will be equipped with tablets to support digital processing, monitoring and follow-up of the loans.

The forum placed strong focus on passenger safety, dignity and inclusion, with proposals including children-friendly toilets at bus parks, CCTV cameras, passenger feedback portal for reporting complains, walking platforms for persons with disabilities and sign-language interpreters where possible. The policy also proposes stronger professionalism in the sector, including requiring each SACCO to have at least five personnel including designated managers, uniforms and badges for easy identification of Saccos, while keeping drunkards out of the public transport sector.

Chief Officer Gender, Children and Social Services Catherine Katuti urged residents to champion the policy and actively participate in shaping it, noting that once approved, the County will implement the agreed measures. The reforms are expected to strengthen accountability, reduce harassment and improve accessibility, safety and service standards across Makueniโ€™s public transport sector.
