The high incidences of insecurity within Kisumu city, if not quickly addressed, will affect local tourism.
For a long time, Kisumu has seen emergence of militia groups such as the Baghdad Boys, China Squad and ‘42 Brothers’ which operate in major estates like Nyalenda, Nyamasaria and Kondele. Police with the help of area residents, through community policing, have been able to track down the dangerous gangs at some point.
