The government of Kisumu has organised an international investor conference in September. The event slated for September 26—30 will market the lakeside county as an investment hub following its reinvigorated growth over the past three years. Kisumu county and the national government are finalising ongoing infrastructure projects. Nyong’o said the county government plans to use the event as a precursor of the 9th edition of the Africities conference to be held in Kisumu next April. Kisumu is the first intermediary city in Africa to host the continental event, which has attracted over 4,000 delegates.
