Kiisumu County has stepped up security ahead of the seventh edition of the County Assemblies Sports Association (CASA) Games, with organisers expecting about 10,000 visitors for the week-long event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

County Commissioner Ramadhan Mwabudzo said additional security teams would patrol the city and sporting venues to ensure the safety of participants, officials and spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are well prepared. In addition to our regular patrols, we will have special teams patrolling all the areas and fields where the games will take place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mwabudzo said security agencies had enough personnel and resources to manage the event, adding that reinforcements could be sought from neighbouring counties if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He cited the Dala Sevens rugby tournament, which he said had passed without security incidents, as evidence of Kisumu\u2019s ability to host major sporting events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commissioner urged residents and visitors to turn out for the games, saying the event would offer entertainment and showcase the county\u2019s hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The games are due to begin on Sunday, with the official opening ceremony scheduled for Monday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisers said a senior national government official would preside over the ceremony, with the guest of honour to be announced later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CASA national chairman Peter Imwatok said preparations were complete following inspections of the venues earmarked for the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have gone to all the fields that will be used for this particular event, and all preparations are in order. We are ready to go,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imwatok thanked the county government, the Kisumu County Assembly, the commissioner\u2019s office and security agencies for their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition will feature football, volleyball, netball, handball, golf and badminton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cultural performances and activities for people with disabilities will also be included, alongside an eating competition being introduced for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kisumu County Assembly Clerk Kusina Opanga said the assembly and county government had worked with hotels, public institutions and other stakeholders to prepare for the influx of visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 2,000 county assembly members are expected to take part, while the total number of visitors could reach 10,000, organisers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turnout is expected to benefit hotels, restaurants, transport operators, traders and entertainment businesses across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opanga said hosting the games was a significant opportunity for Kisumu, as the county might have to wait another six years before hosting the event again under the rotation system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also linked the games to activities celebrating the legacy of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his contribution to democracy and devolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venues include Mamboleo Stadium, Kisumu Polytechnic, Aga Khan Hall and Kisumu Golf Club, among other facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisers said a full list would be shared with the media to support coverage of the competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CASA Games bring together county assembly representatives from across Kenya for sporting competitions, cultural exchange and networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mwabudzo urged Kenyans to visit Kisumu during the event, saying security arrangements had been strengthened across the city to ensure the games ran smoothly.
