GODFREY.M. KIGOCHI
COUNTY SECRETARY
Kisumu County Secretary Mr. Geoffrey Kigochi this week presided over the official opening of training for Kisumu County grievances redress and feedback Committee on effective County grievance redress mechanisms (CGRFC) at Boma inn, Eldoret County
In his speech Mr. Kigochi stated that complaints are part of our day to day activities hence we need effective mechanisms to report and handle malpractices.
The County secretary stated that the reporting mechanism requires citizens to make complaints easily and effectively and that the complaints registered should be handled well.
“The complaints mechanism is a potential to strengthen the organization’s credibility and reputation that leads to a win-win situation,” he said.
Grievance Redress Mechanism is part and parcel of the machinery of any administration and as County government of Kisumu Managing grievances is one of the top priorities. This move has brought the entire redressal framework into focus.
the mechanism is the gauge to measure efficiency and effectiveness as it provides important feedback on the working of the administration. The entire process will be governed by the Kisumu County grievances redress and feedback Committee.

Kisumu County Secretary Mr. Geoffrey Kigochi this week presided over the official opening of training for Kisumu County grievances redress and feedback
The County directorate of gender convened a gender mainstreaming technical working group meeting on draft policy formulation, a strategy to establish and strengthen gender mainstreaming efforts in all sectors in Kisumu.
Gender equality has foundational and often overwhelming consequences for both male and female and special groups in areas such as poverty, health, education, empowerment, localization and implementation of sustainable development goals which requires explicit attention to gender equality and empowerment in related institutional structures and processes as well as in policies, programs and budgeting.
The objectives of the 3 days meeting were three-fold: to set an in-depth understanding of the Gender Mainstreaming policy framework by the steering committee, discuss the Gender Mainstreaming policy framework with the steering committee for drafting and to consolidate the final Mainstreaming draft policy for public and stakeholder’s discussion and input.
The meeting brought together several partners working on a joint monitoring program for Sexual gender-based violence, gender technical working group, the County Government of Kisumu and the state department of gender. It also included Plan International and National gender equality commission (NGEC), Nyanza Initiative for Girls’ Education & Empowerment (NIGEE) among other key partners.
The meeting highlighted the intrinsic focus on gender equality and identified strategic entry points for gender mainstreaming, including how the County government system can better support the gender-responsive implementation and operationalization of policies that enhance synergies with SDG 5 on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls through introduction of a sector-wide framework to strengthen institutional accountability for gender equality results.
To reinforce effective joint action on gender equality, participants identified entry points to strengthen programmatic responses and accountability in program development. The draft policy will be subjected to public participation, legislation, validation and thereafter implementation.

Kisumu County lacks data in cancer management that would be instrumental to inform decisions in investments as well as patients follow up.
This challenge has been fueled by lack of data collection tools, registers and, summary tools among other requirements.
The county also needs linkages with private hospitals in submission of cancer statistics from the facilities.
While giving a progressive report on the cancer situation in Kisumu County, the county health director Dr Dicken Onyango said that data in cancer should be as developed as data captured in the management of HIV and Aids condition.
Dr. Onyango noted that only cervical cancer indicators are well captured and reported on DHIS, against the background of other cancers documented to exits in the county, however one cannot be able to trace the where about of those patients.
“The focus has been on cervical cancer screening, the other cancers are neglected due to inadequately defined indicators.” Dr Onyango said while calling on partners to aid in developing an integrated cancer surveillance system that captures and reports data for all cancers.
The scantly available data shows that in the last ten years, Kisumu county registered 402 cases of breast cancer, 365 identified esophagus cancer, 324 kaposis sarcoma, 328 cancer of the cervix’s, 171 prostate cancer and 164 lyomphoma cancer.
The records further indicate 124 people in Kisumu suffered from cancer of the liver (hepatoma), 76 had colorectum cancer, 46 cancer of the stomach, 45 cancer of the ovary, 26 osteogenic sarcoma and 24 multiple mveloma.
Since 1998 to date there are 22 cancers of the bladder recorded in Kisumu County, another 20 cancer of the pancrease, 15 thyroid cancer , 12 bronchus cancer, 12 endomethium cancer, 11 cancer of the vulva, 10 cancer of the penis, 4 cancer of the stomach and 8 unspecified cancers.
Within the county, cancer patients are receiving interventions and treatment in cryotherapy, surgical intervention and thermo-coagulation
Kisumu County has several cancer screening locations, including JOOTRH, KCRH, Chulaimbo, Kombewa, Ahero, Nyakach, Nyahera, Muhoroni, Gita, Migosi, Lumumba, Rabuor, Airport HC, Ober Kamoth, Kodiaga HC, Katito, Manyuanda, Nyangoma and Bodi.
The county has a total of 19 sites able to screen cervical cancer (Vili/Via) and three sites for I breast, Five sites for cytotherapy and another five with thermo coagulation devices. Kisumu hospice offer palliative care while JOOTRH offers oncology clinic, diagnosis thermotherapy starter package and it’s also the proposed cancer comprehensive center.
The highest number of screening done in Kisumu includes cervical cancer and breast cancer, the screening is done by roughly 30 nurses trained in cervical cancer screening while the county has only 2 oncologists, one at JOOTRH and another in Maseno.
However , there is inadequate opportunities for continuous professional development due to lack of funding for staff who wish to pursue long-term training in oncology – nurses, clinical officers, doctors.
For the last nine months there has been a documented decrease amounting to 324 in the number of cervical cancer receiving via/Vili and an increase of cervical cancer patients on Pap smear while cancer patients with positive Via/vili results increased with 62.
In the same period the number of cervical cancer with suspicious cancer lesions increased by on while 40 more patients were treated using cyotherapty.
The county has partnered with KMET, Africa Cancer Foundation, to support cancer patients, however due to high cost of treating cancer, patients rely on universal Health coverage (UHC), NHIF and cash from funds drives, though funding gaps for patients in the county exists in chemotherapy and diagnostic services – CT scan, MRI.
Apart from gaps in data, the county still has to grapple with inadequate equipment, lack of radiotherapy, few numbers of cancer care staff including specialist.
The screening programs are also working in alone, there is no integrated screening program for all cancers.
Some of the recommendations that Dr Onyango gave included initiating an integrated cancer screening program rather than stand alone as well as development of on integrated cancer surveillance systems that captures and records data from all centers.
“There is need to support dissemination of cervical cancer information through community dialogue as well as partner to support dialogue forums for sub county dissemination of information on cancer.” Dr Onyango added.
“You the media, are powerful. You reach millions of people, you have the tools to challenge rigid gender roles and empower both men and women”, remarked Atieno Otieno the County Director of Communications when she joined DW Akademie and two of Kisumu’s esteemed radio stations for the launch of their gender policies.
Sky FM and Radio Lake Victoria on Wednesday made history when they launched their Gender Policies at a ceremony attended by radio journalists from Kisumu, Bungoma, Webuye and Nakuru. The policies are a set of guidelines for the stations to guarantee equal rights and opportunities for all ; tools to advance gender parity in radio programming.
The launch was organized by DW Akademie who are the supporting partners in media development in Kenya.
In attendance, the County Director of Gender and Youth Affairs Ms Adah Omedi said that Gender policy is developed out of the recognition that there still are disparities among men and women in various spheres of life. She announced that the County Government was at an advanced stage in the development of a Sexual Gender Based Violence policy and a Gender mainstreaming policy.
In her remarks, Sigrid Thomsen, DW Akademie’s project lead applauded the two radio stations for fostering an Integrated Policy Agenda which is a big step towards bridging the gender gap.
Also present was the Managing Director of Sky FM, Mr. Daniel Kirathe, Mr. Arthur Okwemba a media consultant for DW Akademie, Association of Media Women in Kenya representative Josephine Wareta, station managers, among other stakeholders.
The policy is in line with the Kenya National Policy on Gender and Development (NPGD), which clearly states that it is the right of women, men, girls and boys to participate in and benefit equally from the development process including appropriate affirmative action at all levels.
“Getting women in front of the camera or the microphone is only half the battle; we also need fundamentally to change the way we interact and the language that we use,” concluded Atieno.
