Revitalizing Kisumu!

In the last five years, Kisumu County has experienced tremendous economic growth. However, this fast-growing city with over half a million people has had to grapple with urban development challenges including;
o Poor drainage system particularly in residential areas
o Inadequate transport network
o Poor road networks with no street lights and space for non-motorized transport,
o Inadequate water supply and sanitation,
o Poorly developed markets with hawkers blocking roads and
o Inadequate affordable housing
To address these challenges, the County government of Kisumu has taken a strategic decision to implement a new strategic plan that will see the city’s infrastructure development improved to the required standards.
The Key project development areas in the strategic plan include;
o Urban transport (Bus Rapid Transit - BRT)
o Housing development
o Water and sanitation
o Road Network and Drainage systems in the city
o Waste management and
o Establishment of Non-Motorized ways (Pavements)
As the gateway to East Africa, Kisumu enjoys a vantage geographical positioning and is accessible by road, air and water. These and the strong and visionary leadership in Kisumu makes Kisumu ideal for investment.
Join us on this transformative journey.

I'm thoroughly impressed by what Prof. Nyong'o and his team have achieved in 5 years. I grew up listening to his ideas on TV as the Minister for Planning while I was in high school. Now I'm a PhD student watching from Hungary and every new video about the city makes me proud. He is making hard decisions and some will lose in the short term but we will celebrate his work for generations to come. If Kisumu wants to operate like a city, then efficiency and reorganisation is pivotal. 5 more years to Professor. The former Governor could not even manage Muhoroni Sugar now what can he do with a county? Mschewww!!

Nyong'o is exactly who Kisumu County needs at the helm of its leadership now if it's to develop. We thank God for giving you to serve us.

Please reconsider the painting of the city Blue. I think a more sound approach would be involving architecture and design students and graduates, to come up with an original idea of what they want Kisumu to look like. The soul and vibrance of Kisumu will be lost if we just copy some Greek island, especially without understanding why they chose their color scheme (perhaps the colors of the Greek flag? lol).

[@dache_z1082]

True, that blue looks ridiculous.

[@NileGoddess]

Mombasa is blue too.I prefer green for kisumu

[@daniells71]

@@NileGoddess I thinks that's way better than blue. From a design perspective, I think the city should pick out a rustic color pallet and let people chose from a variety of colors. With greenery, red soil, and dark lake waters, rustic colors would work very well. (Pastel colors for Mombasa)

[@AMGW11]

I think grey would be fantastic. Or whatever colour they have dotted on buildings in Barcelona, Spain.

Iriek mang'eny e weche ma kamaa!.. Sadly, people here never consult experts. It's a monkey see monkey do situation. Copying without understanding what informed those people's choice.

Kisumu is far better than the Ugandan capital city Kampala. We Ugandans are envious of Kenyans who have good leadership and rule of law

Kisumu water management has the capacity to provide enough water to all major cities in Kenya.... don't ask me how.

[@JoshTheAnnointed]

I am impressed. More work still needs to be done and I trust baba Lupita with the job. 2022

[@mathewomolo]

They have a chance of avoiding turning into Nairobi. Good job

[@Lutherswift]

I hope they will start using Lake Victoria water to provide clean water for all residents of Kisumu and its environs. There is more than enough.

[@tevinadams2983]

the housing part really disturbs me

[@meleas8262]

Well done. The video is so informative

[@Lutherswift]

I hope these things can be implemented in Godspeed like in more developed countries like the BRICS and G7. Saying you will do something but not doing it is one of the curses of sub-Saharan African countries.

Kisumo Dala

[@japhethnyagaka7580]

You are forgetting Nakuru city

[@Lutherswift]

The video is about Kisumu posted by Kisumu county. What Abagusii drugs are you on?

[@itgamingke]

This is a Kisumu County channel 😂😂yaani nakuru haina channel ya County?

[@edwardjuma5982]

I get your point. He should help Lee with ideas and Lee to chip where Nyongo is wanting. We're in this together Africans, let's develop together!
