Governor Gladys Wanga, through the Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Programme II [KISIP II], is spearheading infrastructural projects in Shauri Yako, Makongeni, and Sofia settlements.
These projects include road works, street lights, drainage systems, market infrastructure, recreational facilities, and sanitation facilities. These developments aim to attract modern housing infrastructure and pave the way for gentrification in these areas, enticing investors to build modern housing units.
Additionally, the municipality, in collaboration with Akiba Mashinani Trust, is developing a People’s Adaptation Local Physical and Land Use Development Plan for Homa Bay. This plan will not only establish a planning and development control framework but also address the unique needs of informal settlements within the municipality. The ongoing profiling exercise is a crucial step in this process.
We’re focused on making Homa Bay a city.
