Journalists were not allowed to access, and take photos of the Kisumu-born Hollywood star, and Oscar Award winning actress.

The manner in which the Governor Anyang' Nyong'o's daughter toured the city left many wondering of the level of secrecy involved.

Little about the actress jetting into the county leaked into the internet, with the many preying eyes of Kenyans failing to catch a glimpse of what was happening on the Lake Side region.

The Standard quoted that Lupita’s public engagements are only approved by her director, and thus the need to block journalists and the public from taking photos of her.

Governor Nyongo’s communication team was also not allowed to share pictures of the actress  online.

The award winning star was in the county to discuss ways on how they would improve art in Kisumu and Kenya at large together with other investors.
