Kisumu models have asked the county government to enact tough laws that protect the rights of models in the county.
Led by former Miss Tourism Kisumu Wendy Anyango, the models complained of interference from outside counties.
Anyango said that models from counties outside Kisumu were being given the privilege to get billboard advertisements in Kisumu.
Speaking from Kisumu's Jomo Kenyatta Sports Ground, Anyango noted that Kisumu was rich in both upcoming and established models saying that it was unfair for them not to get opportunities to market themselves on billboard adverts in Kisumu.
Kisumu-based artist and fashion model Kysh Roberts appealed to the County Executive for Tourism, Trade and Commerce Dr Rose Kisia to come to the rescue of Kisumu models by enacting tough laws hindering adverts from bearing models outside Kisumu.
