The Kecoso’s national committee led by secretary general Omole Asiko made the announcement on Thursday while touring the region.
“Kisii County hosted the sixth edition of the Kenya Inter-County Sports and Cultural Association (Kicosca) Games successfully last year, something that made us settle on it as hosts,” he said.
