The county government of Kisumu has banned holding of political events within Kisumu City’s Central Business District(CBD)
Through its city department, the county said no license will be issued to those seeking to hold political rallies within the CBD.
Kisumu City Manager Abala Wanga says the move has been occasioned by the destruction of public property that happens during political rallies.
Wanga says some of the people attending rallies vandalize public property within the CBD .He said such acts are hurting the city’s beautification programs.
He says the city will however designate areas of campaigns outside the city center.
