Members of the Women’s Development Organization in Kilifi County are calling for urgent elections to choose their new leadership.
The members say that despite the exercise being postponed for four years in the country, plans to elect new leaders have been repeatedly delayed disrupting the organization’s development agenda.
Led by their vice chairperson Fides Kilifi, the members have vowed to hold their own leadership elections without involving the national leadership.
“Women have been nominated. Women have volunteered, but development progress is not going anywhere. Therefore, we, the women of Kilifi County, have decided to speak out so that we can make decisions and fill the gaps,” said Fides.
