Investing in Kisumu is 95% risk and 5% business sense........I wish the owner of the Kimwa chain of hotels and entertainment spots was around to testify this.

Kisumu it appears is just a lot of lost potential. I would say they most poorly utilized area in Kenya. I have even heard that guys who try to make viable investments in supporting fishing are soon bombarded with political nonsense such that fish farms in Nairobi, Eastern and Central will form more viable sources of fish, What a waste!!. I blame this on leaders from that region failing to develop a sense that personal gains can be made from the products of human labor and rather promoting a sense that gains can only be made from politics posts. Am saying(without real tribal bias) that the hotbed of Luo politics needs to be solving the problems of Nyanza and not Nairobi's Kibera. Failures in Kisumu and its environs are being exported to Nairobi (Kibera) and causing a lot of distraction. Little wonder during P.E.V Kibera residents were behaving exactly in the same way as Kisumu residents, burning formal places of work, because the true value of such commercial enterprises is not being promoted but rather the value of political seats and power.
