Kisumu,Kenya: Kisumu County has bowed to pressure from Kenya Airports Authority's (KAA) to relocate Kachok dump site, which is directly below the flight path.

City Manager Doris Ombara says relocation will begin after the long rains. Currently, the rains may affect the construction of the new landfill in Kibigori, and the decommissioning of the current dump site situated within Kisumu's CBD.
