Kenya celebrated its 58th Madaraka Day anniversary in Kisumu. Despite an increase in the Indian type Covid-19, there was enthusiastic turnout at the Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium and along the route, especially Kondele. 

After the usual entertainment, Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o praised President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and his ‘handshake’ brother Raila Odinga for enabling county maendeleo in one ‘indivisible’ country.
