Thanks so much for showing us regions in the country sides,this s plus to show how development is taking shape away from big towns and cities,theris so much potential in these regions
Im happy that you visited my home town.Kisii remains the best town and fast growing with all banks including Central bank.Kisii we lead in business and investment in the whole of western Kenya region.Kisii is the leading forex exchange remittance from diaspora .In short we lead others follow.Kisiis hoyee.
I'm happy to see you feature my hometown. I'm from Kisii but I reside in Texas USA. I wish you could start wearing your brand name T-shirt. That way,people could see your name on the T.shirt and subscribe. Just a suggestion. I love your work bro! Keep shining
Glad you visited our very own Little Kampala, "K-Town"😊. It's busy, very busy nearly 18hrs of each day and rainy ⛈️ 🌧. Beautiful diverse and vertically built big town in the highlands of southwestern Kenya 🇰🇪. Enjoy kabisa Bwana UG Connect.
If it were planned it could have been fine but inakaa estates za Eastlands za Nairobi bana kama Kayole hivi ....just buildings zimerushwa ovyo ovyo like CBD ndio market ndio residential ndio bus park hakuna formula ....just good planning and it can be good
@@ostinlamar704 in terms of build up, Kisii has large, beautiful and wonderful buildings. Most estates in nairobi have too many rusty buildings. Only horizontal infrastucture should be improved in Kisii, roads in CBD are really unplanned, but modern ones are being constructed in the outskirts, like the wonderful interchange past Daraja Mbili, one of its kind in East Africa
Good update I have seen so far about Kisii town. You highlighted all the very important sections of the town in the CBD...Otherwise the very best of the town is on the outer layer of CBD especially the hotels...
@tfl4963 -I hope this is not ruto na tumepanga 🤣🤣.And please work on the garbage too,business owners should be required to maintain sidewalks (same style)and paint their buildings every couple of years. Introduce street names and each building must a number. Hire me for free advice on how to make Kisii to city.
@@ugconnect However, remember the Soil texture is different for Kisumu it can't hold water for long for instance where l'm currently that is Mombasa when it's raining even if you walk on a muddy area your clothes can't get dirty. It's because soil texture.
I knew of doctor called Mayanja who taught biology at Kangaru School in Embu, he later got his medical license and then worked at Kenyatta Hospital. I guess he is now back in UG. He had escaped from Amin. Interesting to hear that name
After watching Kisumu and Eldoret for sometime, Kisii looks dirty, underdeveloped and disorganized. But the one thing i appreciate about the kisiis is that they are very hardworking!
ug connect. u said kisii is abit different from the rest of the towns u've visited, and that, its giving you different vibes.. tell us what u saw unique in kisii, from the rest🤔
The la S t time i was here is almost 25 years; i am shocked and disappointed that nothing has really changed in terms of infrastructure. The walkways and pavements are just as the same. The buildings, some have never been repainted. Its like the town is been left behind by time, ITS STAGNANT. County government needs to wake up. What a shame!
That guy who is saying , NAIROBI is disorganized tell us which city in Africa can be able to easily handle the kind of traffic NAIROBI handles from big buses to human traffic ,a city like Kampala is congested by bodaboda no city in Africa can handle smoothly the kind of vehicles NAIROBI hosts every single Day Lawrence knows what am saying cause NAIROBI is not even congested despite handling all classes of vehicles in it
Yes it's illegal to cut trees in Kenya, to Cub deforestation. The government is real encouraging people to start using gas instead of charcoal. They get most charcoal from neighboring countries.
And so is the rest of the towns in Kenya! Nairobi is one big slam with no drainage system and even proper managed modern transport system and even well managed county toilets!! Which one is your town?
Unfortunately not much can be done to improve Kisii. The location makes planning challenging. It's hilly and develops following the highways. The population is excessive.
@@felixmakinda7689 All Bantus are cousins, nothing special about meru and kisiis,kisii are close to luhya and kuria than meru ,if you are a kisii you are more likely to understand kiluhya and kuria more than kimeru
@@ImDevin25 not entirely true. Languages have evolved due to migration patterns, distance, and interactions with outsiders. For example, to Abagusii, God is Nyasaye (which is borrowed from the Nilotic neighbours - Luo), but even closest relatives Abakuria and Simbiti (use Enokwe and Wa Rioba respectively). Bantu groups diverged from somewhere, at times even from a common parent. Saying that Mogusii and Momeru were twins does not distance the rest. Yes, the Ameru, Abakuria, Simbiti, Zanaki, Ngurimi are closely related to Abagusii linguistically. Some shared words include Mogambi (Mugambi), Mogendi (Mugendi). Mokuria and Mogusii are closer because they migrated together. Momeru moved with Mokamba and Mogikoyo. I am a student of history and I am currently documenting the history, language, and traditions of Abagusii people for future generations. Part of it has been to understand where Omogusii comes from.
@@felixmakinda7689 Do you know that Samia and banyala subtribe of luhya share a lot of words with kisii as well as maragoli? For instance a name for a man in kisii is the same for Samia and banyala luhya same as wash your hands and many more,if you are documenting get time and visit maragoli land familiarize yourself with the language then go to funyula and budalangi and familiarize with the language too, the mojar difference is the pronunciation and the effect of L and R.
Compared to Bungoma, Kakamega, and Eldoret, Kisii looks rather disorganised and dull. It looks bigger than most towns, but someone needs to do better urban planning.
@@clintoncharles8219 There is no "real" 24 hr economy in Kenya, or in most countries in Africa. What we call 24hr economy is essentially sleaze (sin) economy
Kisii is overpopulated. There's limited land for expansion, hence the reason why even roads are narrow as compared to other towns. It's also the reason most Kisiis have migrated to other towns in Kenya and overseas.
Kisii look pathetic. It is a shame more than 10 years after devolution nothing much has changed. But looks busy which tells you kisiis are very hardworking. Lakini governor atie bidii.
Kisii is like Thika. Those who own properties don't want to develop. The old generation. Those who want to develop can only do it outside the town. Has nothing to do with the county. The town is developing into other towns instead.
@@felixmakinda7689 The roads look poorly maintained and very narrow. No street lights. No proper sewage systems. That is the work of the county governments. I am not talking about buildings. A town can look ancient but still well maintained.
@@waitimuwaispear8129 the streets were designed in 1920s. If any change has to be made, then buildings have to go down. Laying down sewage in a place where there was none isn't one plus one. Same thing with expanding roads. However, there is no excuse for not having street lights. That said, the nature of Kisii means that the town (hilly) cannot grow within but grows following the highways. New developments are along Kisii-Kilgoris, Kisii-Migori, Kisii-Nyamira, and Kisii-Sotik (limited because land is occupied by institutions - schools, KARI, etc).
Naah, my friend, that's just brutality as it it erupting, the problem is that it is dirty and disorganized, plus the video wasn't good, I don't know how he did his homework....
Are you hearing what you are saying,what do you mean by down low, Even the Kisumu you are talking about cant be compared with kisii interms of development, It may beat it on wide roads and some little extra cleanliness but interms of every other thing you can see kisii is much developed evwn than most towns we have in Kenya
Kisii is the only of Kenya's small towns to be declared as not having more land to build on, so it's a rapidly advancing place... The roads are not wide but there are plenty of network of meandering roads... Plus it has tall buildings It's just dirty... And brutal... It more of needs to be 'cleaned' or perfected if anything... Plus it's number 7 and pretty close to Eldoret(6) and Thika(5)in modernization
Those guys are welcoming you to kisii and they are encouraging you to do your work
My hometown. So nostalgic. Welcome to Kenya's land of matoke.
Thank you brother

I've realised almost all Kenyan towns are well developed and modern,
The only thing that they don’t maintain are sidewalks

Finally you have left kisumu after weeks
Very lively town

@@genesisbera7761 I think u are very blind. can't u see kisii is highly developed and neat with skyscrapers everywhere!?
What do you mean by underdeveloped, do you really understand what you are saying or jist throwing words around
@@freddiekipkoech4752poorly planned and looks rustic. They need to repaint and remodel everything.
Apart from unplanned CBD roads, the buildings are many, beautiful and large.
Charcoal is imported from Uganda,it's illegal to cut trees and burn charcoal in Kenya but you can import with authorization from the government.
I hope you cover all 47 county HQs in kenya. No UA-camr has ever done that. So far you've covered around 6, not bad.

Good business, but busy in a disorderly way, lot of street trading like Nairobi. The town park need some beautifying and maintenance.
for the visits u've made so far, what can u say about kenyan🇰🇪 towns as compared to ugandan🇺🇬 towns. what are the major difference or culture shock😲
My opinion is that Kisii can compete with mbarara easily
@@cliffolch5924 nooo, mbarara is big and well organized bro,, travel
@@cliffolch5924 are u a kenyan or ugandan?
Kisii will be the next City in Kenya..also its a 24hr economy (twilight girls at night)
twilight girls is a very disturbing thing indeed! They rob farmers of their tea bonuses!

people use charcoal but not so much like it used to be.
Is true charcoal burning is outlawed in some parts of the country, especially makueni, machakos, and kitui counties
Thank you

Visit Homa-Bay County
Yes it's illegal to cut trees in Kenya, to Cub deforestation. The government is real encouraging people to start using gas instead of charcoal. They get most charcoal from neighboring countries.
Kisii is such a big planless town in Kenya,i wish the governor could do something before it becomes worse
And so is the rest of the towns in Kenya! Nairobi is one big slam with no drainage system and even proper managed modern transport system and even well managed county toilets!! Which one is your town?
@@thomasduke4402kericho, kisumu na tuko and embu are organized
Which town in Kenya that has a plan other than Konza and Tatu city?
Unfortunately not much can be done to improve Kisii. The location makes planning challenging. It's hilly and develops following the highways. The population is excessive.
County government should build a modern multi story market to improve the look of the town and give the traders a decent work environment.
the unique building is the catholic parish quarters
Thank you for the clarification
Kisii is the land of matoke , but Meru county produces a lot of bananas than kisii.
