Bamboo grower’s joy after quitting city job

On a two-acre farm in Shamakhokho, Vihiga County, Victor Mwanga Shiribwa has set up a bamboo empire to seek answers on reviving the dying Maragoli Hills, the crumbled Pan Paper Mills and possibly become one of the greatest bamboo traders.

When he bought the piece of land a few years ago, it was worthless, sloppy and irregular. But a look at how it has been transformed into a business hub leaves a lot to be admired.
