L-R: Governors from Lake Region Economic Block James Ongwae (Kisii) Prof Anyang Nyong'o (Kisumu) Wilber Otichilo (Vihiga), Devolution CS Eugine Wamalwa and Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya examine fish during the launch of Kakamega fish factory in Lurambi, Kakamega County. The plant located in Lurambi, Kakamega County will buy fish from 14 counties which are to be exported to 27 European Union countries. While launching the fish processing plant, Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya said his county will support the factory by allocating resources annually to the sector. But to meet this demand, we have to invest in technology and proper infrastructure,” said Kakamega Fish Factory Chief Executive Officer Samwel Ondiek. “We have started the Kakamega County Fish Subsidy programme that operates on a 50-50 cost-sharing basis, meaning fish farmers only pay half the cost of feeds,” said Oparanya.
