Webuye

Webuye is an industrial town in Bungoma County, historically known for the Webuye Panafrican Paper Mills, once one of the largest paper factories in East Africa. The town lies on the A104 highway and the Nzoia River. Though the paper mill has declined, Webuye remains an important transit point on the Nairobi–Uganda route and a local commercial centre.
