As Kenyans across the country celebrate Christmas Day amid challenging economic times, calls for vigilance and caution on the roads have dominated the celebrations from leaders and religious leaders, amid a high number of road accidents.

In Kakamega County, residents and leaders celebrated Christmas Day in different ways, with some opting to spend their day in church, others at recreational centres like Muliro Gardens, and some choosing to interact with the less fortunate in society.
