Best business to start in Kisumu 2024/2025

I work for an NGO in Nairobi and my contract is ending in December 2024.I have savings in a Sacco worth Ksh 3.5 million. Since I understand that getting another job is difficult, I first want to start a business in Kisumu and look for a job as I run the business.
