Busia County Governor Dr.
Paul Otuoma has installed streetlights in major market centers to boost the 24-hour economic system and provide security for residents amid slow economic growth for small-scale traders.
Speaking in Busia, Otuoma noted that in an effort to achieve this, things seem to be brightening up for residents and business owners in the town following the launch of the integrated street lighting programme in the town and its suburbs.
The governor emphasized that proper lighting would empower small-scale traders, transport operators, and other informal sector players to work longer hours without fear of insecurity. "These lights are not just for illumination, but they are tools for development and also a source of security.
