Kenyans Embed URL As thousands of youth poured into the streets in major cities to commemorate protesters who lost their lives during last year's anti-government demonstrations, the situation in Kisumu remained largely calm on Wednesday morning.
A spot check by Kenyans.co.ke revealed that the main streets of the lakeside city were mostly empty, although some residents were going about their daily activities.
Most of the roads appeared deserted, with far fewer personal vehicles and matatus than usual.
Despite the relative calm, many businesses in the Central Business District (CBD) remained closed, and a heavy police presence was noted across key areas.
