Residents of Kisii town have been forced to contend with congestion and other challenges despite efforts by the county government to improve delivery of services.

An ambitious plan by Governor James Ongwae’s administration to modernise the town is being hindered by shortage of public land for expansion or building social amenities due to land grabbing.
