By Chak Rachar.
Kisumu County women under the banner of African Churches Foundation has embarked on giving relief and other forms of assistance to widows and orphans within the seven constituencies making Kisumu County.

According to Bishop Pheobe Onyango who is the Chairman of the Foundation their move has been necessitated by the need for better living by the concerned and they are set to transverse Kisumu East,Central and West,Seme,Nyakach ,Nyando and Muhoroni Constituencies.

“We are appealing to the Provincial Administration as well as well wishers to come in and support us in this our endeavor as not only food will we be giving but we have a long term program of even building houses for the widows” she added

Meanwhile, Bishop Onyango has condemned the action by Nairobi Women Representative Rachel Shebesh saying it was not proper and criticized calls for Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero to resign.

Bishop Onyango says Kidero need not to resign and called for respect among the leaders.

She says biblically men are above women and that is irreversible noting that the issue should not be politicized.

Addressing a press conference in Kisumu with over 300 women members of the foundation, Onyango says there is need for reconciliation between the two leaders.

She says they are not either happy that Kidero slapped Shebesh but also cautioned women to be respectful to women.

Onyango says women should not abuse gains that have been made in their empowerment to disrespect men.
