State in Sh15b plan to revive Lake VictoriaA dredger at the Kisumu Port that will be used to harvest water hyacinth that is chocking Lake Victoria. A marina, whose establishment is expected to catapult the re-planning of Kisumu city to face the lake in a gradual cascade, is also part of the project. The project is being implemented by Uganda-based Chinese maritime company Mango Tree Group, which has offered similar services in the neighbouring country. The machines will be brought in parts and assembled at the yard, Ombara said. “Turning the town to face the lake presents us with the biggest opportunity to realise Kisumu’s full socio-economic potential.
