Azimio leader Raila Odinga participated in a historic groundbreaking ceremony for the LV Marina complex in Kisumu, a significant property development situated on the shores of Lake Victoria, at the foot of Riat and Nandi Hills.
This project underscores Kisumu’s emerging status as a progressive city preparing for a brighter future.
Odinga highlighted that the future belongs to cities that prioritize high living standards, including quality housing, education, healthcare, and job opportunities. He emphasized, “The best way to give every resident a stake in a city is to provide them with a good home.”
Addressing the challenges of rural-urban migration, Odinga pointed out that Kisumu, like many urban centers, faces issues related to unplanned settlements that offer inadequate living conditions and are susceptible to crime and insecurity. The introduction of LV Marina aims to elevate living standards in the vibrant city, showcasing the potential of the private sector to collaborate with local authorities in tackling basic challenges such as housing.
He expressed gratitude to Governor Hon. Prof. Anyang’ Nyong’o and City Manager Mr. Abala Wanga for their supportive leadership in this initiative. Odinga also acknowledged GulfCap Real Estate and Hon. Suleiman Shahbal for their commitment to the project.
In his remarks, Odinga warmly welcomed the investors present and extended an invitation for more to join in the development efforts, reinforcing the importance of sustainable urbanization and local action in shaping the future of Kisumu.
