The national games that were originally set to take place in Kisumu City could now head back to Kisii. Following a directive assessing the venue, KSSSA Nyanza Region is set to re-inspect facilities in Kisii on Wednesday.
Inspection and Potential Venues
According to KSSSA Nyanza Region Secretary Tom Odhiambo, the inspection is set to take place at Kisii School, Cardinal Otunga High School at Mosocho, and Gusii Stadium.
