President Ruto had on October 2022, promised to transform Homabay County’s fishing industry, the cotton sub-sector and several infrastructural projects including roads and water.
“I am going to approve BT cotton seeds in a Cabinet meeting tomorrow (Monday) so that cotton farmers can begin getting high yields. My government must improve the livelihood of the people of Homa Bay,” he said.
The first in command also committed to working with Nyanza and pledged that no region across the country would be left behind.
“I want the people of Homa Bay and Nyanza as a whole to understand this government is theirs. I am going to serve you and ensure that this region is not left behind when other regions are developing,” Ruto said.
