A statement from the governor's Communication Unit said; “Kisumu Governor Prof. P. Anyang' Nyong'o is in Mannheim, Germany at a private investors' forum to seek financing for the Lakefront Development Initiative, for the long-term and for the needs of the Africities Summit 2021.”

“The Governor is hosted by the Mayor of Mannheim, Dr Peter Kurz and UN-HABITAT. The Lakefront Development Initiative in Kisumu was selected alongside another UN-HABITAT-supported project in Costa Rica, for marketing to investors,” added the statement.

Prof. Nyong'o is accompanied by among others, Kisumu City Manager Doris Ombara.

The Lakefront Development Initiative entails a lot of issues among them enhancing public transport, creating investment opportunities and linking the City with Lake Victoria.

The Kisumu County boss has initially been accused by his critics of enlisting a lot of foreign trips in his diary instead of being around to serve the electorate.

But he maintains that his numerous trips are geared towards seeking investors and funds to develop the Lakeside County.
