Kenyan delegation in Egypt to woo investors to put money into Homa Bay

A delegation from Kenya will be part of the 12th World Urban Forum in Cairo, Egypt starting Monday.

The team is led by Oyugis municipality manager Sigar Agumba in the convention bringing countries across the world together, where leaders of medium cities will be exchanging ideas on how to develop their local towns.

Agumba said the Kenyan team will use the world exchange program to invite potential investors to local municipalities to tap into the existing areas of interest.

“This trip will benefit not just the Oyugis municipality but Homa Bay County at large. I seek to convince global investors to visit Oyugis so that we can spur development,” he said.

The forum is organized by the UN-Habitat and runs through November 8.

It will also discuss widely the effects of climate change mitigation and adaptation resilience.
