Boda boda riders and youth in Kisumu have received training on early warning, response and non-violent agitation to political issues in preparation for the August 9 General Election.

Champions of Peace programme director Elly Opondo said the training, which was done in partnership with the Mercy Corps, was important to enhance peaceful co-existence towards the election.
