A human development study done by the UN in 2010 found that Nyanza is one of the poorest regions in Kenya. Nyanza has potential sources of revenue, including hidden minerals, fish, tourism, and cross border trade across Lake Victoria with neighboring Tanzania and Uganda. The region requires leaders of the highest calibre to man its resources. Farmers from Siaya, Homa Bay, Migori and Kisumu counties are to form cooperatives in order to benefit from the contract. Nyanza governors must review their political standpoint and utilise their leadership positions to work in the best interest of their counties.
