Homa Bay County receives a major economic boost from the new fish market at Koginga. The facility cost 345 million shillings and stands ready for business.

More than 2,000 fish traders will benefit from the new market facilities. Cold storage rooms help prevent fish from spoiling quickly. Sellers can earn more money because their products stay fresh longer. The processing areas allow traders to add value to their catch. Government officials expect county and national income to rise.
Lilian Kieni from the Housing Department praised the project completion. She said the processing area helps people use water resources for making money. Fish sellers used to work from temporary shacks without proper storage. The new building provides decent working conditions for mama samaki traders. Small business owners can operate from clean and organized spaces.
