Top Ten Kenyan Counties Worth Investing In

A new constitution was drafted, passed and promulgated, giving Kenya a new form of government structure. Devolution was created and County Governments came on board.

The beginning of the County system of governance brought many opportunities for business. However, the truth is that not all counties are the same in terms of investment opportunities. Some counties are well off and some are not. This is the reason why we have decided to outline the ten counties that are worth investing in and why they are worth investing in.

1. Mombasa County

Mombasa is a unique tourist destination with all the reasons and places to invest in. The city supports various business opportunities for all economic classes in the country and one will always see the worth of his or her business upon investing in it.

The County has a high population and businesses are often booming especially during the holidays, what with the influx of tourists, both local and international.

You can therefore decide to venture into the tourism sector by establish hotels, providing camping sites, tour guide services, as well providing transport for the tourists.

2. Nairobi County

If there is a county that one should consider investing in, Nairobi is it. Nairobi is the Kenya’s capital city the place where the seat of power lies and where the authority comes from.

The county has good infrastructure, though some people might dispute this, with many investment opportunities than in any other county in the country.

SMEs do well in Nairobi and are always assured of survival in terms of customers as well as finances. The most viable areas to invest in is the real estate business, the transport sector, garbage collection business as well as metal and recycling business and surely you will always see money coming your way.

3. Machakos County

Before the creation of county governments, Machakos town was just like other towns. In fact, it was neglected because of its harsh climatic conditions. But since Dr. Alfred Mutua took over as the Governor of this county, things have really turned around and investors are now eyeing the county. There are many opportunities in the construction sector especially for  houses, offices, roads, boreholes and even bricks.

4. Bungoma County

Many people might be a bit cynical about this but believe it or not, if you are thinking of a county to invest in then Bungoma is the place to go as soon as possible.

Bungoma County is one of the counties with a very high population and this fact alone is the main reason for a good and viable business.

There is the existence of the trend of sustaining an investment while in Bungoma County because opportunities are as wide as you may think of.

Many people still live in mud-walled houses but are starting to embrace the modern way of constructing houses and therefore investing in this business is one of the best opportunities in Machakos County. The health sector is also wanting due to the high population. Roads too are in pathetic condition and it is an open ground to invest in.

5. Turkana County
