Governors Cyprian Awiti (Homa Bay), Moses Akaranga (Vihiga), James Ongwae (Kisii), Sospeter Ojamoong (Busia) and Cornel Rasanga (Siaya) hosted investment and entrepreneurship forums. Former Busia County Kengele Forum convener Jacob Ndagwa said the event was “a ploy to spend and plunder public resources”. The county government also signed an agreement with an Indian firm, Kanoria Group, to set up a Sh5 billion sugar complex in South Mugirango. This would make it the second largest sugar factory in Kenya after Mumias. In 2014, Siaya county held an investment conference to showcase its resources for local and international investors.
