Introduction
The County's
blue economy sector is a key driver for economic transformation, and the
longest beachline along Lake Victoria presents an opportunity to attract
investments.
Within our
first 100 days in office, we have been working on the plan to develop our waterfronts
to attract investments. We have made considerable progress in our partnership
with Kenya Railways and Kenya Ports Authority in redeeming and putting in place
plan to develop the waterfronts within our County to make it look like the
Mombasa beachfronts as we know then.
Economic Benefit
The development
of waterfronts is expected to attract investments and boost the county's
economic growth to tap into it's endless potential. The creation of the Homa Bay Lakefront Development Corporation
will also provide a mechanism for governing the lakefront, ensuring its
sustainable development and economic potential.
Citizen Benefit
The
development of waterfronts within the County will create new opportunities for
investments and improve the economic prospects of people living around the
lake. The Lakefront Planning and Development Initiative will promote
sustainable utilization of the Lakefront, benefiting the citizens of Homa Bay county.
