More than 300 widows in Nyeri County will benefit from the Sh3 million Widow Endowment Fund after Governor Mutahi Kahiga gave the green light.

Speaking during a sensitisation forum at the county headquarters yesterday, Kahiga said a fundraiser had been conducted to support widows, but the money was never spent.
