A young woman from Nyamira has emerged the winner of a major contest in the just-concluded Kisii Entrepreneurship Summit.
Askah Keruko, from Gachuba ward in Nyamira, went home on Saturday with an award of Sh1 million for winning a competition in the innovation category.
Keruko was declared the winner for making wine from bananas.
This win for Nyamira comes months after another young woman from the county, Janet Chebet, who does aquaculture and greenhouse farming was announced the winner, as the national best youth farmer.
This promise of entrepreneurial success has made many social media users from the county to call on the Nyagarama-led county government to organise a similar summit in Nyamira.
