Notably, Kisumu is currently hosting the Africities Summit 2022 with guests from different parts of the world gracing the event.
“Kisumu is generally a safe and easy town. This rarely happens but with Afri Cities here with us, thieves come from all parts of the country. Please help customers secure their valuables by being vigilant, this includes using safe deposit boxes or hotel reception as most locals have also hired part-time staff,” Tuli Tuli wrote, an MCA aspirant in Kisumu.

If you own a business in Kisumu kwanza within CBD, try to beef up your security guards. Especially those who own electronics and telephone companies, they are now targeted by vibaya. I learned the hard way, mungu tu.
