Siaya County is set to host its inaugural Siaya International Trade and Investment Conference, marking a historic milestone in the County's economic transformation agenda.

While making the announcement, Governor James Orengo said the conference is the county's flagship platform to position Siaya as a key destination for investment and enterprise. "This will translate ambition into projects that create jobs, expand markets and improve lives," said Orengo.

The event, which will take place in Siaya Municipality, with additional activities in Bondo Municipality, will also be attended by President William Ruto and former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga.

He added that the conference will go beyond the traditional trade exhibitions, focusing instead on bankable projects, signed contracts and transformative investments that will create lasting impact for the people of Siaya. "Our approach is focused on enhancing infrastructure, promoting public-private partnerships and creating an investor-friendly environment.
