Kisii town is becoming one of the most growing cities in the Nyanza region as business is the main agenda of the day. Most people, not only from the Gusii community, have admitted that it is one of the best town to invest in compared to other towns including Kisumu City. Ultra modern malls have been designed due to business demand, equipped hospitals and busy streets are evidence of Kisii town growth. Various factors have contributed to this.
Kisii town (region) is located on the Kenyan highlands with fertile lands that favors agriculture. This goes in handy with the climate in the area. Kisii region is always wet due to the well distributed rainy seasons thus no dry spells. This makes it the major producer of bananas in Kenya thus nicknamed as 'matoke area.' With this kind of climate and always green vegetation agriculture becomes the major economic activity here
With the politics being the order of the day in every town, Kisii is not really affected by this. This is mainly because the region is home to many communities thus is becoming a metropolitan town. In this way, both the government and opposition are gambling for votes thus one party can claim to dominate the area, therefore there are no chances of political disturbance thus investors are willing to invest unlike Kisumu which is said ti be a NASA region thus communities from an opposite political group are discouraged keeping in mind the 2007 violence
Good road network and electricity connectivity is one of the influences of development in a region and Kisii has done a lot in ensuring this is well catered for. Most roads have been tarmacked to ensure a smooth running or the road transport. Feeder roads have been rehabilitated to ensure they are meant to serve during all the weather periods. In this way investors are willing to cash in money in Kisii.
