Bondo town.[Isaiah Gwengi,Standard]
Fifty years ago, Bondo was just a lakeside fishing town with low-key investment potential. A few homes dotted the bushy Nyamira and Sinapanga villages.
The only visible building in the area was a tower at the gate of Bondo Teachers Training College, whose recent transformation has greatly changed the area; opening up opportunities that residents had never thought of.
Kennedy Odhiambo, a resident, says that when he settled in the town in 1998 after moving from Siaya town, Bondo was playing second fiddle to other urban centres of then Siaya District. Not anymore.
