Final touches at Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium Kisumu ahead of June 1st Madaraka Day celebrations (Collins Oduor, Standard)
The June 1 event, which commemorates the day the country attained self-rule, was scheduled to be held at the stadium located in Mamboleo, Kisumu East, but this now seems unlikely.
By yesterday, it was apparent that the government was yet to settle on the venue for the event, and was making several other considerations.
Sources told The Sunday Standard that the proposal to change the venue to State Lodge arose following fears that it may be difficult to control the crowd at a time when Kisumu is among the counties recording high Covid-19 infections.
