The great vision of H.E. Governor Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyongo for the County of Kisumu known as “Tich Tire” has excited the People of Kisumu and the citizenry of Kisumu City in particular. The Kisumu City Management Board has received tremendous support for initiatives intended to make life better livable in Kisumu City. Specific initiatives in areas of Street Lighting, Drainage and City cleanliness, Beautification and Greenery , Planned modern small scale business kiosks and Traffic Control has received very unprecedented interest and overwhelming support. We are grateful to the City Stakeholders who have come forward to join what we call the, “Tich Tire Team” to perfect the Governor’s vision. It is quite apparent that the development momentum in the County of Kisumu and its City is attributable to the exemplary leadership of Governor Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o.

The City Business Community have designed a non motorised promenade for Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Triangle. The roads surrounding the triangle will be one way with palm and Ashock trees in the middle. We plan to divert all buses and big tracks to use the bypass and avoid and this transformation will begin from Dunga and Nairobi Road through Kisumu Boys Roundabout. As we progress, we will relocate all buses with their office and parking yards within the CBD to better areas with good yards where they can park and have offices and canteens, two major bus parks are coming up in Otonglo and Nyamasaria. Already the construction of Ksh. 99.8 Million Nyamasaria satellite Bus Park is underway. The new park will have vehicles parking bays, Matatu Sacco Offices, Passengers lounges, biodigestor within the toilets,waste management systems, Modern restaurants, water hydrants and disaster management system. Upon completion PSVs plying Nrb-Ksm, Msa-Ksm, Kisii-Ksm will not be allowed in the City CBD.In addition, we have initiated a collaborative partnership between the management of the City of Kisumu and the corporate sector through enhanced Urban Aesthetics.
