Kisumu County, Administrative region in western Kenya
Kisumu County extends over 2,085 square kilometers along Lake Victoria's shores, incorporating urban centers, agricultural lands, and natural reserves.
The territory gained administrative status during Kenya's 2010 constitutional reform, transforming from a district within Nyanza Province to an independent county.
The region serves as a central point for multiple ethnic communities, with the Luo people maintaining strong cultural practices through traditional ceremonies and festivals.
The county maintains direct transportation links to major Kenyan cities through Kisumu International Airport and an extensive road network connecting neighboring regions.
The county government introduced Bajeti Yetu, a digital platform that allows residents to monitor and participate in local budget allocation processes.
