The national government, through the State Department of Culture, plans to construct a Sh150 million cultural centre for the Abakhayo community in Nambale, Busia County, in a move aimed at preserving the community's cultural heritage while promoting tourism and local economic development.
The facility will be built at the Nambale Deputy County Commissioner's headquarters after officials from the Department of Survey identified and approved the site for the project.
Director of the State Department of Culture, Michael Pundo, said the project is being implemented following a directive issued by President William Ruto after he met Nambale MP Geoffrey Mulanya and Matayos MP Geoffrey Odanga at State House in June.
