The county government of Kisumu intends to relocate the iconic Kisumu Boys High School to outside Kisumu CBD. Since its establishment in 1948, the Kisumu Boys has been a day school until fairly recently and has produced many outstanding engineers, medics, farmers, businessmen, academicians, artists, musicians, sportsmen, and legal fraternity among many other professions. The school infrastructure is monumental and synonymous with the origin and growth of the city. As a day school, it has served families who for one reason or another are unable to take their children to boarding school. This is based on its centrality hence much easily accessible from all corners of the city.
As alumni, we, therefore, ask for your support to petition HE. Governor Peter Anyang Nyongo, the County government of Kisumu and the Ministry of Education to do the following:
1. With immediate effect rescind the decision to relocate the school and maintain it as a city monument.
2. Revert the school back to its day schooling function
3. Allocate funds to renovate and modernize the school infrastructure to meet international standards

Not an alumni of Kisumu Boys but I think that relocation of the school is inconsiderate given the school's heritage and history since its establishment. The school is an icon of Kisumu City
KB was established as a day school and strategically located at a central place to serve students from Kisumu town and environs. The aim and heritage should remain.
Do not relocate Kisumu Boys.No development can be better than schools and hospitals.Whatever you want to build can be built in Mamboleo,Kibos,Otonglo or Nairobi road.Or better still,Maseno town,A hero town or Muhoroni town.Why did you make these places towns if you not keen on developing them?
I do not support relocation because 1) Investment wastage in putting up a school 2) Emotional/ physical inconveniences resulting from relocation 3) Why now when the school could be considered for upgrading to National status
KBHS needs not to be relocated. Let the country Government relocate the bus stations and remove those touts who pollutes the school's main gate.
I oppose this move untill all the valid concerns are appropriately addressed.
Rescind the decision to relocate the school.
