Kisumu County has recorded a higher prevalence of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) compared to the national average, according to government data. The Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kipchumba Murkomen revealed that while Kenya’s national average of SGBV stands at 32%, Kisumu County records 36%, marking it as one of the regions most affected by the vice.

Speaking on Thursday, September 18, during the 42nd edition of Jukwaa la Usalama Mtaani, Murkomen noted that the high numbers remain a cause for concern and require urgent multi-sectoral action.

Harmful practices blamed for high cases
The CS attributed Kisumu’s alarming SGBV rates to harmful cultural practices including disco matanga (funeral discos), wife inheritance, and the breakdown of family structures. He described these practices as “repugnant” and key drivers of violence against women and children.

Murkomen urged community leaders, non-governmental organizations, and religious institutions to intensify sensitization campaigns through public

Adopt a child for school fees:

Good evening.

Request to assist bright children who need school fees support. All 5 are children from single parents 4 girls and 1 boy.

We have done this before, let's do this again. The school fees at Moi Girls are from 2 sisters, hence school fees for 2 girls.

Inbox for the name of the student, you make remittances to the school account yourself, all we need are the receipts and the kids report to school. The parent/s and Community Forum For Advanced and Sustainable Development - COFAS ensures that shopping is done.

We have been doing this for ages. Let's continue with the Good work. This far - Thank you. 🤝 For the continued partnerships.
