Key Messages from Presentations
• Enterprise growth: Women must be willing to take
advantage of financial products offered by various
financial institutions to transform their small businesses
into enterprises.
• Partnerships: The county/women in business must use
viable value propositions to attract partners who can
invest in their enterprises. Women have to demonstrate
to partners on the viability of business activities they wish
to be financed, such that the returns outweigh the risks.
• Financial tools: Financial institutions offer different
financial tools for women entrepreneurs can use to
support their enterprises at different levels. Savings and
Credit Cooperative societies (SACCO) were proposed
as ideal financial vehicles through which women can
access financing, due to member driven governance,
and financing of agricultural commodities. SACCO’s also
offer better credit terms than many financial institutions.
Financial tools also available to businesses in Homa Bay
include; LPO financing, invoice discounting, agri-business
loans, SME loans, mortgages, bid-bonds, short-term
accommodation for loans, and tailored accounts.

4 HOMA BAY INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT CONFERENCE
HOBIIC 2016
• Networking and advocacy: Women make the largest
percentage of SME’s in Kenya at 70%. Overall, only 70%
of new businesses get to see their third year of operation.
There is need promote networking and advocacy among
women to facilitate sharing of knowledge and best
practice. Additionally women in Homa Bay County have
been encouraged to set up business caucuses which shall
be supported by National Business Caucuses.
• Opportunities for women in Homa Bay County
Women in the county have been encouraged to set
up businesses targeting the education sector such as
bookshops and polytechnics.
Main Enablers
• Constitution - The Constitution of Kenya is friendly to
women enterprise.
• KNCCI is devolved hence can be accessed at county level.
The chamber is willing to set up business development
centers to mentor women in the county.
• Ministry of Industry, Investment and Trade, and Homa Bay
County CEC Trade are willing to provide business information
and opportunities to ensure enterprise growth.
Issues Arising from Discussion
A number of issues emerged during the general discussion.
Participants were particularly keen on the question of access
to financing especially for women, the youth and people living
with disability to enable them take up tenders.
Lack of access to information on tenders, stringent requirements
by financial institutions and lack of inclusion of women at the
grass-root level (in business caucuses) were sighted as key issues
that exclude women from shaping investment decisions. The
issues discussed include the following:

5
HOMA BAY INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT CONFERENCE
HOBIIC 2016
• Turn-around Time (TAT) for bid bonds by Kenya
Commercial Bank (KCB) is too long.
KCB has since centralized bid bond processing by moving
it to the branches, in turn greatly reducing the turn-around
time for bid bonds.
• Too many conditionality’s for startups that are
interested in accessing credit facilities.
Currently, financing of start-ups is addressed on a case
by case basis. That is, if a good proposal is submitted and
the business is determined to be viable then credit can be
extended. Entrepreneurs were advised to consider going
for unsecured loans that have less stringent requirements.
Alternatively, they can join a SACCO where they can also
borrow at lower interest rates.
• What does the county government intend to bring
to the table so that women entrepreneurs can
access finances?
Plans are underway to set up Homa Bay SACCO (in
collaboration with USAID FIRM) and in the long-
term developing it into a bank to accommodate more
entrepreneurs especially start-ups.
• The need for the formation of the women caucus in
the county so that grassroots women also take part
Caucuses exist in all the counties hence women are
represented at all levels. The Homa Bay county representative
to the caucus to the caucus is the late Hon. Monica Amolo.
KNCCI has been devolved and can be accessed at county
level, therefore participation of women at county level must
be strengthened.
The women were advised by KNCCI to select another
member to replace the late Hon. Amolo.
• What can county government do to increase
the level of awareness and access to tenders by
women?
Although this is a national government function, the county
government guides women in getting tenders in line with
the 30% procurement rule.

6 HOMA BAY INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT CONFERENCE
HOBIIC 2016
• Can the county government enter into an MOU
financial institutions/partners like Uwezo and
Youth fund to facilitate access to financing for
women and youth to enable them to be part of
the 30% procurement rule?
The establishment of SACCOs is expected to address
financing constraints faced by women to a larger extent.
A proposal can also be done to the Council of Governors
to work on MOU’s that will facilitate access to financing
by women and youth.
• A majority of the deaf people in the county are
challenged in establishing businesses and this is
further compounded by communication barrier.
Can the communication barrier be eliminated to
incorporate such special persons in development
matters?
This question was not responded to.
Action Points
• The Homa Bay County Government officials need to work
closely with KNCCI to set up a business development training
center in the county that will promote networking and
advocacy for women entrepreneurs.
• There is need to create awareness and education among
women on the various financial tools that are available and
the institutions that can accommodate their financial needs.
• Engage USAID FIRM for the formation of a Sacco and
mobilize the community to embrace it as their own
• County officials to follow up on the election of the next
representative to the caucus.
• The County Government to oversee the formation/
establishment of a local bank in collaboration with Deloitte
and Touché.

• Global Alliance USA (GAUSA)
• Rift Valley Natural Resources Exploration
• Thika Ways Investment
• Solar Stream
• WikiLeaks
• Nakumatt
Key Points/Issues Arising from Discussions
Potential investors in infrastructure, renewable energy
and ICT raised a number of concerns on the place
of SMEs within the mega projects, the continuity of
the investment agenda beyond the conference, the
importance of an integrated physical plan, feasibility
studies for the proposed projects and the place of
consultancies.
• Are there any provisions for small and medium
enterprises within the big projects?
Opportunities for investment are presented at all
levels. It is up to individual investors to determine
the scale of operation depending on their interests.
Off grid generation of power is allowed. Currently,
some of the generation of power is being carried
out on Rusinga Island, taxes are not imposed on
power producers. The county has created business
to business contact so it depends on how investors
approach them.
Kenya Electricity Generating Company (Kengen)
carry out larger generation projects but leave
smaller projects to Independent Power Producers
(IPP’s). Kengen’s areas of interest are in solar power,
hydropower, geothermal and wind energy.

26 HOMA BAY INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT CONFERENCE
HOBIIC 2016
• There was a proposal for the formation of a body that
can be used steer the process of investment beyond
the investment conference.
There is legislation on the formation of the Homa Bay
Investment Authority for continuity of the process, currently
awaiting to be passed into law by the county assembly.
Investors can use various resources provided by the
government on guidelines or legal aspects in ministry of
energy website. These resources are www.erc.go.ke (Ministry
of Energy) and www.kplc.co.ke (Kenya Power).
• Physical planning – Does the county have an integrated
physical plan to curb haphazard plan? E.g. sewer plan
The development of the integrated physical plan for the
county is underway. The integrated physical plan for Homa
Bay town is also underway.
• There is too much bureaucracy preceding approval
of projects leading to delays in the commencement
of projects.
There are steps to be followed but government will quicken
them. The Ministry of Energy will play role of enabler - work
in collaboration with national government to create a one
stop shop for licensing.
KenInvest – mandated to assist investors to go through
the process of acquiring licenses. Does not charge any fee
for this service.
• Has the county opened up consultancies for local
diaspora to bring in their expertise/add value to
activities at county level?
County government always sources consultancies as per
the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, which states that
consultancies should be tendered. It is free for all.
For those interested in consultancy, continuously check the
website. The county plans to enhance the process through
proper advertising. If consultants have a unique idea, they
are encouraged to consult with the relevant ministry.
• Have any feasibility studies been done on the energy
sector in the county?
Feasibility studies have been done on some areas like
hydropower.
• Do we have a county risk index? Is there a sovereign
guarantee.
This question was not responded to.
Action Points
• Legislation on the formation of the Homa Bay Investment
Authority be passed by the county assembly
• Completion of the development of the integrated
physical plan by the county
• Sensitize investors on the role of KenInvest in acquisition
of licenses
• The integrated physical plan to be shared with investors
upon completion to guide investment activities.

to do grafting along the Lake Victoria shores. As an investor

2. Several forms express a general interest in the sector and have been classified above as “non-specific”
3. Several forms seem to be looking for support from the County and other parties for their own businesses/enterprises rather than interest in
the sectors or projects
4. Some forms are generic or difficult to establish the area of interest and have been classified as non-specific
