While visiting Homa Bay in October 2022, President Ruto pledged to transform Homa Bay 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 so that cotton farmers can begin getting high yields. My government must improve the livelihood of the people of Homa Bay,” President Ruto said.

Adding that, “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.”
