Kondele

Kondele is a district of the city of Kisumu, the third largest city in Kenya, and the second largest city, after Kampala, in the Lake Victoria Basin. Kondele is the most densely populated of the three satellite towns of Kisumu metropolitan region, the others being Maseno and Ahero. It is Kisumu City's most notable region and cultural identifier and one of the most densely populated regions in Kisumu County, Kenya. It lies on the A1 road that connects Kisumu and Vihiga. The town is administered by the Kondele County Assembly ward, an administrative ward which is part of the wards that represent Kisumu Central constituency in Kisumu county assembly. The ward is represented by the Kondele Member of County Assembly.

In the 2009 census, its population was estimated at 48,000. Its large population has recently attracted local business investors despite a history of political violence associated with the region. The main businesses in the region include supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and apparel retail. The growing number of businesses attracted banks to the area, including Co-operative bank, Equity Bank and KCB Bank.

The return of a peaceful environment, combined with the development of a superhighway through the town led to increased economic activity, leading to increased land value. As of 2016, one acre of land was priced at an average of KES 10 million, up from KES 6 million in 2014.
