Anglican Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit has taken issue with the economic empowerment initiatives rolled out in various sub-counties, describing them as politically motivated and lacking real impact.

While addressing attendees at Limuru Girls High School, the Archbishop urged the government to prioritize meaningful investments such as school capitation over short-term, populist programs.

"Token handouts won’t transform lives. They’re quickly spent, often on alcohol and other destructive behaviors. True change comes from equipping people with skills, supporting agriculture, and ensuring reliable markets for farm produce," he remarked.

"Instead of pouring resources into endless barazas and political rallies—whether by the government or the opposition—let's channel that money into strengthening our schools."

Ole Sapit called on the government to embark on investment in key sector areas such as Education and Agriculture.

"We need a university funding model that delivers results. We need a functional healthcare system. But just as importantly, we need a thriving agricultural sector. The government must invest in the necessary infrastructure so that farmers can access markets promptly—this means building and maintaining quality roads," said Ole Sapit.

"School principals are overwhelmed. The current capitation is inadequate, making it hard for them to keep students in school for the duration we’d ideally prefer."

He also denounced the escalating political violence, cautioning that it endangers national stability and urging Kenyans to safeguard democratic spaces.
