Kenya Rises as a Digital Tourism Powerhouse, Ranked Fourth in Africa for Innovation

Kenya has earned fresh global recognition after being ranked fourth in Africa for digitizing its tourism sector — a milestone that underscores the country’s growing reputation as a leader in technological innovation within the travel industry.


The announcement was made in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during a global forum highlighting the transformative role of technology and innovation in shaping the future of tourism.

Consequently, the accolade comes as the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife continues to implement wide-ranging reforms aimed at modernizing the sector and enhancing Kenya’s global visibility.


One of the key initiatives driving this success is a comprehensive digital campaign by the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) to showcase all of Kenya’s tourism attractions online.

Similarly, the effort ensures that the country’s diverse destinations from the world famous Maasai Mara and the Kenyan coast to cultural heritage sites and urban experiences are easily accessible to travelers worldwide.

“The announcement in Riyadh is a testament that the world out here is watching Kenya and wants to know more about this country,” said Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife Rebecca Miano. “We are working tirelessly to ensure that we clinch the first position. We have a lot coming, especially involving our young people.”


Miano noted that the recognition also reflects the ministry’s efforts to align tourism development with President William Ruto’s bottom-up economic transformation agenda, which emphasizes inclusivity and job creation. “Kenya is a magical country, and the support we get from President William Ruto is something we are grateful for,” she commented.

In addition, other African countries recognized in the rankings include South Africa, Mauritius, and Botswana, while the United States leads globally in tourism digitization.


Kenya’s progress marks a significant step toward becoming a fully digital tourism destination. Through continued investment in online platforms, digital infrastructure, and youth engagement, the ministry hopes to attract more visitors, boost local economies, and cement Kenya’s place as a global tourism innovation hub.

Kakamega Residents To Put In Use The Available Climatic Weather condition Through Agriculture

Few Kakamega Farmer’s in An Agricultural Synthetization Stanbic bank foundation programme.



Agriculture boosts economic growth by providing employment especially in the rural areas, and there by many jobless youths in the Country being urged to start small and large scale farming so as to increase food production.

According to the AI Overview provided by Google search, the Country’s definitive number for unemployed youth stands at approximately 67% (for ages 15-34), with over one million young people entering the labor market annually but lacking sufficient job opportunities and thereby leading to high unemployment and underemployment rate.

Similarly, according to the National Council For Population and Development and The Federation of Kenya Employers, the mentioned age bracket should put their efforts in both crop and animal production especially poultry farming because theirs limited formal Jobs in the market,  sentiments echoed by leaders from the Stanbic bank foundation while in synthetization programme in Kakamega town.

Hon. Jackline Mwakha Okanya.

On the other side, speaking while at a funeral service in Lurambi Sub County, Jackline Mwakha Okanya, a large scale farmer and also a business Management officer from Mumias West Sub County, added that over a million young people enter Kenya’s labor market every year, and it would be better if the number is continued to be decreased by those staying in areas with sufficient farming requirements such as; fertile lands and availability of plenty rainfall, to keep in use of it especially the Kakamega youths.

“Over 31% of youth are underemployed, meaning they work fewer than 40 hours a week and are likely seeking more work”, explained Jackline Mwakha Okanya.

She Continued that;

“I urge the Youths in this County of ours to start crop farming especially Vegetables production that requires very little capital to start un like effective business management and finance that are crucial for SMEs to thrive”, she explained to the Mourner’s.

Hon. Jackline Mwakha Okanya who’s eyeing for the Women Representative Seat of Kakamega County in the next general election of 2027, advised the small scale farmers especially the young women to come on board and register as voters .

Hon. Jackline Mwakha Okanya.



“Agriculture provides direct income and employment for a significant portion of the population, particularly in rural areas, which are often the poorest. By raising the income of these communities, it stimulates the local economy and reduces poverty. I there by urge each and everyone of you to use the available chance of Voter registration started by the IEBC to walk into the pooling stations and register as voters as the only way that will help in electing leaders of high integrity and be convened in Agriculture like me”, she articulated.

She furthermore explained that various elected political leaders in Kakamega have remained dormant in matters with infrastructure development and Industrial promotion and that being the main cause of high rate of un employment in the County.

“ Unlike other County leaders that have put in their efforts in bringing development change to their people, we as Kakamega continue to be sluggish in poverty. Our source of income which used to be the Mumias Sugar company isn’t at its initial production level as it used to be yet we have leaders in offices”, she spoke sadly.

Hon. Okanya finalized by explaining that; she will abide by the Kenya’s Constitution adopted in a referendum in 2010 of increasing the representation of  Kakamega women in parliament in case elected as the next Women Representative of Kakamega County.

Kakamega County Government Develops Techniques To Solve Negative Causes of Climate Change.

Kakamega County CECM for Environment Peninah Mukabane.



The County government of Kakamega is partnering with various academic institutions to conduct tree planting activities as one way of combating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing carbon sequestration, and promoting biodiversity.

According to many scientists, trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, effectively acting as “carbon sinks” and helping to reduce atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.

Additionally, trees play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, providing habitat for various species, and contributing to biodiversity.

About 5, 000 tree seedlings have been planted at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) and in the Kakamega forest

Additionally, the County government of Kakamega has planted 3, 000 trees in primary schools.

Led by the CECM for Environment Peninah Mukabane, she had the honour of representing Governor Fernandes Barasa at a tree planting exercise held at Masinde Muliro University (MMUST).

The event was organised by the Presidential Awards team in collaboration with the respective University and that of Kaimosi University.

Kakamega County Government Demeans And Infringes The Doctors’ Rights.

Main Entrance Of Kakamega General And Referral Hospital Closed.



Unlike every Kenyan who has the right to picket and to present petitions to the public authorities as enshrined in Article 37 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, circumstances turned ironical to the Kakamega Doctors who were scared by the County security team holding hoes for them not to exit the Kakamega County general and referral hospital gate yesterday 28th May.

The doctors , who were on their peaceful demonstration, persisted injustices by the county government as the main reason for the strike, including issues like promotions, lack of comprehensive health insurance, acute shortage of medical personnel and the poor working conditions they’re in.

Consequently ,the respective individuals had no option but to abide by the law by remaining calm to their actions especially when the police officers holding teargas machines into their hands alighted from their land cruiser cars joined the County enforcement to threaten them.

Despite their struggles in exiting the premises of the hospital, the County security team stood firm not allowing any doctor to get outside the hospital for the demonstration as it had been commanded by their boss the governor.

Struggle’s of Doctors and Kakamega County security officers.

The actions at the scene surprised few passers by, and there by asking themselves endless questions.

“Do the governor of Kakamega County do what he says While In public forums? Does he actually love the people who elected him for the position? Is there anything he can brag of it for the three year’s he has been in office?”, They asked amongst one another.

Our governor doesn’t know that;

“When the matter is addressed effectively there can be significant improvement of overall well-being and quality of life including being his score card of getting to re-sit the gubernatorial seat in 2027”, explained Dr. Joseph Makonere the the Western branch chair of the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU).

Doctor Kairi Sande who’s the secretary of the branch in the region, who was also present echoed the sentiments by explaining that “We are here to demand the issues in our strike notice are resolved”

He went on;

“Its very hurting for the County government of Kakamega to be giving us daily promises but they’re not willing us to sit at the negotiation table to come up with a long term solution”, Commented Dr. Kairi Sande.

At that particular moment, Dr. Dennis Miskella who’s the deputy secretary general for the union warned the County of government of Kakamega for hiring goons to interrupt their peaceful demonstration.

“If the High Court dismissed the former Inspector General of Police Japheth Koome’s application seeking to set aside a judgment that found him personally culpable for police brutality during the February 2024 strike by the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), whom do you think you’re”, addressed the deputy Secretary General as he told the County government to be in response of any Doctor’s Injury.

The doctor’s strike comes two months ago after the Universal Health care workers (UHC) in the region requesting the County governments to secure permanent, pensionable positions, for the worker’s warning that failure to do so it will result in a complete shutdown of hospital services across the counties, a case being observed here at Kakamega at the moment.

The office of the governor so far hasn’t given any response a bout the the measures it will incorporate to solve the Doctor’s strike even after Dr. Joseph Makonere the the Western branch chair of the Kenya Medical Practitioners with a few of his colleagues presenting themselves to the governor’s office.

Kakamega 2027: Awaiting Women Representative Calls For Luhya Unity.

Hon. Winfred Asiko.

Kenya’s presidential leadership revolves around two main communities only  because of disunity amongst other tribes.


While speaking in an interview in one of the Luhya vernacular radio stations, Winfred Asiko Abuti who’s a resident from  Khwisero Sub County reiterated that un like the Kikuyus and Kalenjins that have remained politically united since Kenya’s independence,  the People of Western Kenya especially those of Kakamega have always remained to be in disunity .


Hon Abuti who’s eyeing the Women Representative seat for Kakamega County in the next general elections of 2027, stated that the Luhya’s have to stop that  illicit behaviour and also that of receiving handouts from various Aspiring leaders whenever an election period approaches.


“The only way we can secure leadership of this Country is to put our votes into one basket. Its painfully amongst ourselves that political leaders from other tribes have known us to be always financially unstable and there by buying our votes”, said Hon Abuti Winfred


She continued;


“Our leaders we have put in the forefront have failed us by creating disunity amongst themselves and that being the main cause of our  failure”,


She advised that the people of Western Kenya should make use of their huge population to secure different political seats in this Country.


“According to the 2019 census, Kikuyus constitute 17.1% of our total population . We then take the second position of 14.3% closely followed by our brothers the Kalenjins with 13.4%, but it’s painful that the Kalenjins that are third in number, have produced the head of state twice now un like we that have continued with hatred amongst ourselves and there by failing to produce a president”, she spoke painfully advising the Luhya Gen-Z’s to unite.


Consequently, she has applauded the good  Courageous and braveness of the governor of Transnzoia George Natembeya and that of Mumias East member of parliament Hon. Peter Kalerwa Salasya as the only leaders who can lead the Luhya people towards the rightful direction.
