Women governors have vowed to lead a sustained campaign towards empowering and mentoring more women into positions of leadership.

Speaking yesterday during a guided tour of various development projects in Machakos County hosted by Wavinya Ndeti, the leaders, under the auspices of the G7 caucus, vowed to team up not only to achieve socio-economic transformation of their counties but also grow the number of women in influential leadership positions across the county.
