Maseno University which got it's charter in 2001 is the only one along the equator and which enjoys a very rich natural environment.
With it's aim to produce fully baked job creators to the market, the university and its environs has rather a retarded development.
With a huge population in this local institution, the Business sector has not been seen to prosper in spite of a very available market and potential buyers.
The students for example have to go to other places such as Luanda or Kisumu to do their shopping since there is not even a single mall in the place. The few shops that are around set their own prices and is very unfortunate.
Some important services also can not be got easily. Could it be that investors fear the booming business at the place? Could it be that there is insecurity at this place? Could it be the municipality laws that hinder the development? Or could be the attitude of the residents?
This a very crucial issue to be examined and the reasons for the slow development be established. The University should stand strong on this matter.
