 Eng Mositet has been thrust into the national spotlight following his appointment as one of the chief architects behind a controversial economic empowerment initiative that has stirred heated debate across the country.

Hon Mositet Korinko , an engineer ,a  development economist and 2027 Kajiado  county governor gubernatorial hopeful, has been named as a lead advisor in the newly constituted National Economic Empowerment Taskforce. The team is tasked with rolling out the “community first”— a multi-billion-shilling initiative meant to uplift small businesses, youth enterprises, and vulnerable households through direct cash injections and subsidized credit lines.

Former senator’s involvement into the project has drawn mixed reactions from political leaders, civil society groups, and economic analysts. Supporters argue that his deep understanding of community-based development in arid regions and his academic credentials make him uniquely suited for the role.

“This program is not just about giving money — it's about building sustainable economic ecosystems in neglected regions, Our goal is to shift away from dependency and toward dignified self-sufficiency. “said Hon Mositet

Launched few months ago by the Office of the Deputy President under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, the drive has already disbursed huge chunks of money across  counties.

Several leaders including those from opposition have expressed skepticism some castigating this new approach that seem to capture the attention to those on the ground.

Eng Peter Mositet elevation has reignited speculation about his 2027 gubernatorial ambitions. While he has not officially declared his bid, his growing national profile and increased visibility in government programs have sparked chatter among local leaders.

As the empowerment program rolls out nationwide, all eyes will remain on Hon Mositet and whether his envelopment on the campaign program delivers tangible impact—or deepens existing  divides.
