Siaya Governor James Orengo has officially unveiled the Siaya International Trade & Investment Conference (SITICO 2025), set for October 14–17, 2025, with President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga confirmed as chief guests.
Speaking in Siaya on Friday, August 29, 2025, Orengo said the conference would position the county as a top investment destination, unlocking opportunities in agriculture, the blue economy, manufacturing, energy, tourism, health, ICT, and financial services.
“SITICO is more than an event—it is a call to action. Our goal is to catalyse domestic and foreign direct investment, accelerate enterprise growth, and secure bankable commitments that move from memorandum to machinery, from intent to impact,” Orengo said.
Themed “Positioning Siaya as an Investment Destination: Transformative Growth through Trade and Investment”, SITICO 2025 will feature keynote sessions, sector breakouts, exhibitions, B2B deal rooms, site visits, and public-private partnership forums.
Investors can expect pipelines of ready projects, including agro-industrial parks, rice and cotton value chains, omena and fish processing, eco-tourism at Lake Kanyaboli, clean energy ventures, logistics hubs at Gombe Airstrip, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Siaya, ranked third in timely contractor payments and lauded by the EACC for its strong governance record, is pitching its strategic lakeside location, youthful workforce, and reform-driven leadership as the perfect environment for investors.
Orengo called on the media, entrepreneurs, the diaspora, financiers, and development partners to seize SITICO 2025 as a platform to “convert potential into performance and set a new standard for county-level investment leadership in Kenya and beyond.”

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
