Migori, Kenya: Migori town’s growth prospects are being threatened by lack of space to expand. A report tabled recently by the county land adhoc committee revealed that the town does not have enough space for constructing infrastructure and industrial facilities.

According to the report, Migori town is bordered by hills, making it costly to put up new infrastructure like road networks. Despite being the county headquarters, Migori town still has long way to go in its growth as an urban centre.
