Present was Chairperson Commission on Administrative Justice, Ombudsman Kenya Hon Florence Kajuju who reminded the widows on the mandate of the CAJ. The mandate of the Ombudsman Kenya office was also Elaborated by the officials who accompanied the Chairperson from the Nairobi office & Embu County Huduma Centre. Our members learnt that the Ombudsman Kenya deals with;

• All forms of maladministration
• Promote good governance and efficient service delivery in the public sector by enforcing the right to fair administrative action.
• To investigate abuse of power
• To manifest injustice and unlawful, oppressive, unfair or unresponsive official conduct.

Office of the Ombudsman is an independent commission established by the Commission on Administrative Justice Act, 2011 pursuant to Article 59 (4) of the Constitution of Kenya.

This event was successful because of the Exemplary Leadership of Grace M’chandis Mrs Rutere among other Self Help Groups Chairpersons.
