A tall, imposing clock sits at the heart of Kisumu's Central Business District (CBD) and has survived the test of time, overcoming the destruction that was witnessed in past political upheavals.
During the 2007/2008 post-election violence where many buildings and infrastructure in Kisumu city were destroyed, the city clock was among the few notable structures that remained standing.
