Twelve counties in Western Kenya, under the Lake Basin Economic block, yesterday opened a four-day exhibition that seeks to attract big-ticket investors to the hugely under-invested region. Mokaya said the exhibition will also provide an opportunity to open and exploit the tourism circuit available in the regions. “We want to unlock the tourism potentials we have around the bloc as we strive to turn them into viable investment opportunities, he said. He added that the exhibition whose theme is ‘unlocking the entrepreneurship potentials existing in the region’, seeks to empower the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), the youth and women. The trade fair event is co-organized by Kenya National chamber of commerce, Local Capacities for Peace (a non profit making organization), Kenya Vision 2030, Ken Invest and Aramant group and will bring together twelve counties under the economic bloc.
