They clean because of the resources they stealing in the Kongo, if we truly want peace in Africa we need to stop Rwanda illigal exploitation on Kongo and balcanising the Kongo and slowing africa true development process. African countries should not illigally exploit each other like Europe in the expanses of other Africans that goes against Jomo kenyatta. Kenya doesn't steal because his country is big enought and they have ebought resources for themselves. So I give kenya the true felisitation because they did not steal from Kongo to make kisumu clean.

Then expand to Uganda, Burundi, Addis Ababa and keep it going along the coast spreading south and west. This is the proper Africa. Yes!

Thanks for the beautiful video. My home city has really changed congratulations to all those behind the effort. The only model left to borrow from Kigali and Rwanda in general, which is why they are way ahead is Umuganda, the monthly mandatory national clean-up. This has made Kigali to be listed by forbes as top 20 cities in the world. The problem with Kisumu is that the focus is only in the CBD and big estates. If anyone googles photos of slums in Kigali then checks slums in Kisumu, you will see why Kigali is cleaner beyond imagination. Until Kenyans start Umuganda, no country in Africa will be as clean as Rwanda. Cleaning in Rwanda is a national legal requirement. In Kisumu nobody knows what will happen when new county government takes over after Prof. Nyong'o's term. But we should give credit where it's due, that Kisumu is definately the cleanest city in Kenya, and one of the cleanest in Africa😊. Tich tiree!!

In Kisumu if County government workers go on strike you will see how much dirt you will accumulate. In Rwanda even with a strike everybody must come out and clean during Umuganda. If you are talking about peace, then you need to live in Rwanda to know that institutions are more stronger today. Kagame does not do miracles in stopping corruption and insecurity. It is the discipline that he has introduced through the institutions. Nobody can achieve such success without support as a team. When he exits, the team is also clear that nobody wants more genocides and Rwanda might even be way better with new generation leaders. Uncertainity of tribal conflicts and general insecurity is much higher in Kenya than it is in Rwanda. We shouldn't worry about Rwanda, they will be fine.

@@jamesokoth6655 that is where people go wrong. The faces some visitors consider as sadness is general politeness they developed after grief and trauma. Some people don't like such politeness while others like. Many people go there and expect them to be shouting and hyper like them but its their personality we shouldn't force them to be extroverts. Myself I like their introverted personality because it is so respectful unlike in Kenya where you go to a bus stop, market, driving and everyone is shouting, insulting, hooting and rowdy. In Rwandan bus stops nobody will be pulling and struggling to pick your luggage, in markets people talk don't shout, roads they follow rules and are patient no overlapping and random hooting of cars even motorcyclists are calm. That silence is what people think is sadness but if you engage them you will realise how beautiful it is. You can barely argue and shout at each other when you disagree. But I can assure you, if you are an extrovert, Rwanda is not your kind of country. Introverts are not sad people, they are just calm, slow to smile and talk. It is the same way I find my own country Kenya annoying because in Tanzania and Uganda too where you find extroverts atleast it is moderate. The level of extrovertedness in Kenya borders on rudness with everyone smiling but next minute rough, impetient and disrespectful. It's all about personality not sadness. The striking I was talking about is that this level of cleanliness in Kisumu is not a legal requirement like Rwanda where no matter who is incharge of Kigali it must be cleaned by all residents not just city cleaners. If next Kisumu Governor is incompetent, what is the guarantee that Kisumu will be this clean? That was my point.

It is a question of averages. When you state that Sudanese are taller than Nigerians, it doesn't mean that every Sudanese is taller than every Nigerian. The reason why mental benchmarking against Europe makes sense is because GENERALLY, the European cities tend to be cleaner than African cities. And it shouldn't be too hard to understand why. While urbanization is a fairly recent event in Africa, for Europe it is an old thing. They went through the teething problems of urbanization, made several mistakes and became better. For the majority, it has solidified in their psyche. The majority of people in European cities were long socialized into urban life. It is a way of life. The majority of urbanites in Africa are at best first generation urbanites. Secondly rural-to-urban migration is still high in Africa with people who grew up and socialized into rural life settling in towns for the first time. Rural areas tend to be naturally cleaner because of the low population density which gives nature time to clean and regenerate the environment. We can therefore list all the parameters we want to work on to improve the urban setting. But it can also be stated that we aspire to make the city look like European cities. If the people understand the second mode of communication better, why not use it? That level of cleanliness can only be achieved if the idea has been fully sold. Yes, alot of sweeping may be going on, but how come the people are not throwing trash in the streets? The message has sunk. Detailed explanation on metrics can be done later.

@@georgeodhiambo598...I fully understand what you mean. But I believe people can still understand the concept of cleanliness without referring to their cities as "Europe." Everybody in Africa by now knows that Kigali is pretty clean. But no one in Rwanda calls it "Europe" even if they might have that comparison in the subconscious. Calling an African city "Europe" because of its cleanliness only promotes white supremacy. Can you imagine how awkward it feels when a European visits Kisumu and hears the locals referring to their beautiful clean city as Europe? Cultures and peoples have been borrowing from each other for centuries. European cleanliness stems from interaction with other cultures too. The Moors claimed that they taught Europeans cleanliness. Africa needs to borrow ideas from other peoples and cultures, without trumpeting that they're doing so. The Chinese have borrowed a lot of technology from Western countries. But they do it quietly. They borrow and make it their own. Yes we can borrow from European standards, without trumpeting it.

@@cypriantertullian7495 You are wrong and right at the same time. Let's start with your reference to Rwanda. The two cases are very different. Kisumu is a county with a Governor. Rwanda is a country with a President and state power to boot. Rwanda's tough past, currently with an unflinching disciplinarian for a President has brought forth a disciplined nation. That's unlike Kenya. Kenyans in general lack national discipline. Leave alone a county Governor, even the President cannot call Kenyans to order. China is another bad example for comparison with Kenya. In China, the leader just has to hint where he wants the country to go and the people match in step. Those who prove to be big headed are beheaded So quite naturally, for Kisumu, getting everyone to match in step would be Governor Nyong'o's primary challenge. And there is not much luxury in the form of time. The people may or may not know the details of general living conditions and cleanliness in Europe. But they have "their idea" of what Europe looks like. "Their idea"! So you can either start by listing a thousand and one metrics/parameters of what needs to be done to transform Kisumu. And you will still be met with a thousand and one why's. Alternatively you can tell them to create "their Europe" in their midst. Their Europe! The "what" comes already packaged with an emotional "why'. It is easier to sell the logic once the emotions have been won. Not a single piece of trash in their midst. Because they connect emotionally to the process. Then the details of the logic can follow later. They are following the good old dictum of "not getting lost in the details and ending up losing sight of the destination". Let the visionary Governor drive the change process with the urgency it deserves. Philosophers can chip in later. By the way, there is nothing particularly "African" about the name Africa. It is European. It was named after some Roman expeditionist/soldier. Philosophers have a big undertaking ahead of them but for the time being let's transform the infrastructure and urban planning concepts to improve lives.

Bonjour, c'est un reportage intéressant, comme je disais à LIV, je suis allé au Kénya il y a bien longtemps dans les années 1990, je connais Nairobi, Mombasa assez bien mais Kisumu pas du tout, cette ville a l'air cool.

La ville est située à l'ouest du pays...6hrs de Nairobi. Elle est connue pour la pêche (au lac victoria) et est l'un des principaux producteurs de poisson du pays.

I love this. But it hurts to hear that the locals have basically equated cleanliness = European as if Africans are somehow filthy by nature. Africa is beautiful! How long will we believe these lies of colonizers? It may not all be perfect, but all it takes is time and education and pride in who we are and where we come from ✊🏽

Sensitization of the public might also work. Let them feel a sense of ownership
