Kisumu Port is roaring back to life as refurbished piers receive a new fleet of cargo vessels plying the Lake Victoria trade route.

The Kenya Ports Authority says monthly cargo volumes have tripled, with edible oil, steel and construction materials moving between Kisumu, Jinja and Mwanza.

Local fishermen and traders welcome the revival, reporting fresh jobs in loading, clearing and lakeside eateries.

The national government has promised a passenger ferry service linking Kisumu to Homa Bay and Siaya islands by next year.
