DRIVING IN KISUMU CITY CBD ~ NO MATATUS!

Change is usually hard to accept and to deal with! The removal of matatus from the city centre has also come with advantages as well as challenges. Some of the advantages are that the roads in the city are now clear and driving is more pleasurable. The challenges are for pedestrians as it is cumbersome to get your way to the pickup matatu points, leave alone if you have mzigo! This is also a pain for the elderly who may not have the energy needed to walk long distances.
Enjoy the drive remember to subscribe!

Kisumu is soo dang clean and well planned! Interestingly there are no posters plastered all over! Good job kisumu government 👏 👍

[@jameskenzedex]

Wow Kisumu looks very smart and clean

[@RonneyOtieno-wh5wj]

Kisumu is so cool and beautiful

[@africanqueengrace]

It is!

[@babuo9778]

You do a lovely job. Kisumu is my city, born and bred but I haven't been back there in 20+ years.

[@greatstoic2297]

Now this video does Ksm alot of justice. Ksm may be small but it certainly is the best city in Kenya. Yet to meet one who was disappointed with what he found

[@edwardochang1806]

Before cutting off the matatus from the CDB, the administration could have considered introducing a few city circulating buses. As it is now, too much man hours are lost for businesses and jobs when citizens have to make those long walks; in the heat moreover!

A strategy to make residents wake up early for work?

Kisumu has changed under Nyong'o he needs to improve the other towns too, Muhoroni, Maseno and the others.

Welcome 🙏🏿!

[@davidonyango596]

Kindly research on the history and inform us...e.g. the Tower....when was it out up,by whom,and why?👍👍

[@cetossa]

More and more clean Sis, and more blue and white colors (like in Mombasa) : thank you Grâce!

Kisumu is clean in did hopefully the palm trees will grow up 😄😄

[@abuyaska9112]

In the back roots past PC Nyanza Hq offices there used to be a mason lodge, we would walk past it hurriedly. It was in between woods we couldn't see it. Tulijua tu iko hapo.

[@itgamingke]

The palm trees along odinga road will turnout to look amazing just like parklands

[@mrplumtreeandfamily9899]

Nice video I like this beautiful town, what a town clean green

[@africanqueengrace]

We love it too!

[@lorenzowere9433]

a city near the lake but is not built around the lake like in most parts of the world is like a waste. It's like going to Mombasa and most activities are away from the ocean.

[@josephokoyo1282]

Most of the land around the lake is owned by Kenya Railways. The city has to find a way of freeing up this prime land for commercial development. Hopefully the Lakefront Authority is doing something about it. I agree with you that the city’s prosperity is inherently tied to it’s ability to tap into this great resource.

[@mercymachina2630]

It's not a waste...they know the importance of conservation for sustainability

[@christineopiyo7769]

We love our city we're doing just fine thank you

It would be better without the out of control billboards. Is there a sign ordinance in this town? Needs to be updated to bring some sanity. I get so distracted watching these videos and I imagine drivers and riders feel the same. I would love to hear your opinion on this issue.

[@africanqueengrace]

I intend to do a video to just focus on advertising and bill boards in Kisumu. I think then I can have feedback after looking at all aspects.🙏🏿

[@josephokoyo1282]

Looking forward to such a video. In any case advertising does not need to be this intrusive for it to be effective. I’ve seen jurisdictions where signs and billboards are tightly controlled resulting in amazing and beautiful streetscapes

[@christineopiyo7769]

Nothing wrong with having billboards even great cities like New York have them

[@dastonamichaels1854]

[@olecmelk2235]

Kampalans should. Visit Kisumu.. they always think kampala is best but in my opinion it's like nakuru

[@africanqueengrace]

I know, right?😜

[@lewiswasonga9537]

Keep camera low and steady please 📸

[@daveodie1575]

Kisumu is a very small village with only one serious street😃 But anyways, great improvement🔥

[@itgamingke]

😐Should've just kept your comment to yourself.

[@lewiswasonga9537]

I think that if you feel sooo squeezed by its tiny size then my advice would be that you should stick at your doorstep and don't come near it.

[@vincearmstrong6055]

what's the average rent for a one bedroom near town?

[@angelaoigara7617]

Near town will be 15k those are estates like tom mboya milimani and polyview

[@michaelopere5424]

All towns in Kenya should set aside no car days and town cleaning.

[@africanqueengrace]

True

[@cliophersobwago1737]

I think it would be good if you don't tamper with the camera.

[@ibrahimmahmoud7409]

Is this matatu arrangement permanent?

[@africanqueengrace]

Not sure, we wait for directives

[@greatstoic2297]

Matatus are not allowed in Ksm CBD since the days of Mayor Shakil. That's more than 20yrs ago

[@amaveey-thehumancycle6789]

Hey ....how are you

Fine thanks, you?
