KISUMU, KENYA: Two of  Nyanza's  landmark learning institutions-  Kisumu Girls’ and Kisumu Boys’ High Schools  could be moved out of the city centre as Kisumu City commences fresh planning to open up new commercial districts.

Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o yesterday announced that an ongoing geo-mapping of the lakeside city has identified a number of changes which the city requires in order to achieve economic strength.

According to Nyong’o, once the plan is complete, radical changes will have to be made in the city to conform to the new zoning.
