Today, I accompanied the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Wycliffe Oparanya, along with my colleague PS, Patrick Kilemi, CEOs from SAGAs, and senior Ministry officials during the presentation of the FY 2025/2026 Budget Policy Statement of the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSMEs Development to the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry, and Cooperatives. During our presentation, we underscored the importance of adequate budgetary allocation to ensure that we can fully deliver on our mandate and serve all Kenyans effectively. The Committee, chaired by Hon. James Gakuya (Embakasi North), supported our proposals, that will help in realizing our shared goals.
