Predictably, many were bound to interpret President Uhuru Kenyatta’s tour of Kisumu and other parts of Nyanza in terms of politics and other obsessions.
I choose to look at the visit as an opportunity to focus on economic significance especially on developments whose economic impact is likely to reverberate in both Western Kenya and on the broader macro economy, long after the President Kenyatta and host Raila Odinga have left the stage.
