Kisumu is a cosmopolitan city. In other words, many people live there who come from different parts of Kenya and the world. Kisumu is therefore a city of immigrants who have lived together with the indigenous people for a long time.
In spite of their homes of origin which some remember and some don’t, few of these people, having lived in Kisumu from birth to adulthood, consider this city their home. This sentiment applies to the other two cities in Kenya: Mombasa and Nairobi.
