SUMMARY It is not surprising to see prominent and well-placed members of Luo Nation complaining about the damning rates of unemployment It is unfortunate that while the Luo Nation heavily invests in building ‘other people’s homes and cities,’ they have forgotten to make their homes betterThe death of Kisumu Cotton Mills, Rivatex and Ken Knit among others that provided ready market for cotton farmers and the dwindling fortunes from sugarcane industry turned out to be sweet curses for the Luo Nation. This was tied to over-reliance on few industries and failure to diversify by various stakeholders from the Luo Nation. ​It is not surprising to see prominent and well-placed members of Luo Nation complaining about the damning rates of unemployment and difficulty in securing government jobs for their children and relatives while forgetting that their idle capital could run several industries enough to employ and sustain their entire villages. It is unfortunate that while the Luo Nation heavily invests in building ‘other people’s homes and cities,’ they have forgotten to make their homes better to attract investors to the Lakeside City. Must the locals shift from the village to the city slums just to seek an opportunity to be employed in the various investments of the Luo Nation outside Luoland?
