Residents of Kisumu have welcomed the suspension of anti-IEBC demonstrations in the town. "The suspension is good because we can do our business in a peaceful environment," John Oginde, a hawker, said. Aside from politics and protests, investors in Kisumu are moving due to poor management by the county government, a source said. On Sunday, Cord suspended weekly demos , saying IEBC negotiations were nearly complete. "On any day that demonstrations were held I suffered severe losses in my business," Wilson Mdodo, a boda boda operator, said.
