The five-day Africities conference, which begins next week in Kisumu, has been guaranteed of maximum security by security chiefs in the Nyanza area.
Magu Mutindika, the Nyanza Regional Commissioner, believes the region is ready to host a calm and successful conference.
The conference venue, Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium in Mamboleo, would be under 24-hour security supervision, according to Mutindika.
He assured delegates arriving for the conference starting this weekend that everything is to the plan to ensure their security is guaranteed.
“We want to assure the delegates that their security is guaranteed on a 24-hour basis,” he said..
Mutindika further told residents of Kisumu to brace for traffic reorganizations for a smooth flow of traffic during the conference.
“There will be some inconvenience of traffic because we will not allow everyone to come to the conference,” he said.
Only accredited delegates would be granted entry to the venue, according to the RC.
He also stated that the security team will include owners of clubs and other places of social entertainment in order to improve security in and around their establishments.
“We have organized a meeting with the managers of various hotels and other joints so that they guarantee security to the delegates whenever they visit their premises,” he said.
Africites Chief Executive Officer Joe Agger without giving names confirmed that 7 heads of state will attend the conference in person with 4 others will attend virtually.
“Out of 8,000 delegates that were expected to attend the conference, 6,000 have confirmed their attendance,” he said.
