The Muhuru Bay Pier Development and Rehabilitation Project, launched by H.E. President @WilliamsRuto in May 2025 and managed under the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), is tapping into the immense Blue Economy potential of the Lake Victoria shoreline through strategic infrastructure to expand trade, strengthen fisheries and stimulate economic growth in Nyatike and the wider Migori County. Revetment works are progressing through the installation of a steel retaining barrier in the lake and the placement and compaction of rock fill to form and stabilise the pier approach while protecting the shoreline against wave action. Key facilities include a 50-by-30-metre reinforced concrete jetty for larger vessels, cold storage for fish preservation, an administrative block for port and customs operations and perimeter security infrastructure. Once operational, the port will reduce post-harvest losses, improve market access for fishermen and strengthen lake transport links with Homa Bay, Sori and Kisumu. It will also complement the Masara–Muhuru Bay road upgrade, creating new opportunities for trade and investment. Effective maritime security will be critical to the port's long-term success, with the State Department for Internal Security and National Administration working alongside relevant agencies to safeguard infrastructure, regulate cross-border movement and secure lake transport routes, creating a safe environment for trade and regional connectivity.
