Egerton University will open a campus at Homa Hills in Karachuonyo if on-going discussions for a partnership with the County Government succeeds.
The University Vice-Chancellor, Prof Rose Mwonya met Deputy Governor Hamilton Orata in his office today during which the opening of the Campus and Outreach agricultural programs to empower the communities topped the agenda.
This will be the second University be established in Homa bay, after the Tom Mboya University College- a constituent of Maseno University.
Prof Mwonya said Egerton was interested in a partnership with Homa bay to help it run community based programs that will culminate into the opening of a Campus which will focus on research and training of agricultural extension officers.

Mr Orata said the takeover of middle level colleges that trained extension officers and other skilled field officers -by Universities was to blame for the decline of food production in Kenya. "I am longing for the days when agricultural officers walked across the villages to teach farmers new farming techniques." said Mr Orata.
Prof Mwonya who later met members of the Homa Hills Community was accompanied by the Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture- Prof Joshua Ogendo and the Head of Department of the Agricultural Engineering, Prof Japheth Onyando.
