President Uhuru Kenyatta will next week pitch tent in Kisumu to commission a number of projects targeted at reviving Lake Victoria’s blue economy.

The Standard has established that among the projects that will be commissioned include the newly constructed shipyard at the Kisumu port as well as MV Uhuru II ship. The ship is a sister ship to mv Uhuru that was recently refurbished. The two projects are among those that have been tipped to place Kenya among the giants in the maritime industry, with a focus on shipbuilding and maritime transport.
