In the spirit of celebrating the International Women's Day on Friday, Tana River Governor Dhadho Godhana decided to treat ladies in his county to free makeovers in select salons.
The women streamed into the premises in Hola Town to access the beauty services such as hair, manicure, pedicure and facial scrubs.
The treat resulted in booming business for the salon owners who had been contracted to offer the services.
It was all hands on deck, with salonists working at an unusual speed in order to cope with the overwhelming numbers.
The residents were elated to access the services, some of which were for the first time.
"It is the first time I'm getting into a salon for a manicure. This is very thoughtful of the governor, it has never happened in this county, never, for the first time I have bleached," Asha Kalime stated.
Demands for various hairstyles coupled the air, with others choosing to bleach ahead of their weekend functions.
More numbers kept tripping in, nobody wanted to be left out, their faces filled with Joy.
"Majority are here for their hair to be made, I have more than twenty women as at now and am most likely to be here until midnight, it is a great honor for the women, we appreciate," a salonist Sheillah stated.
The women also called on the governor to extend the courtesy to their small enterprises, by providing low-interest loans.
On his part, Governor Godhana urged the women to open up companies and entirely take their 30 percent share of the tender awards.
He conveyed the economy depended on enabling the women in the enterprise sector, asking the women in the county to step up their ability to the national level.
