The County Government of Kisumu in partnership with the Tourism Finance Corporation (TFC) are contemplating to put up an ultra modern international conference centre in the county.
TFC Managing Director, Jonah Orumuru told KNA that plans have been existing for years, saying the proposed land had been grabbed and allocated to a private developer, until it was repossessed recently, by the county government.
“This land was grabbed six years ago and it has really derailed our programmes. I am glad that we finally got the legal instruments to revert the ownership back to Sunset Hotel,” said Orumuru.The institution will stand on a two-acre piece of land belonging to Sunset Hotel, which is jointly owned by the corporation and the county government.On his part, Kisumu County Deputy Governor, Dr Mathews Owili indicated the county government would give TFC, all the required support to set up the facility.
