Traders, farmers in Nakuru set to benefit from modern market upgrades

Traders and farmers in Nakuru County will benefit immensely from the Market Infrastructure Programme aimed at growing and dignifying small scale businesses across the Country.

400 modern markets are in various stages of completion across the 47 Counties, including 19 markets in Nakuru County.

Construction of an additional two markets in the County will commence later this year to accommodate more traders, among them Mama Mboga.

In Bahati Constituency, the Government is constructing three markets; Kabatini, Bahati and Dundori.

These markets will have expanded trading spaces, cold storage facilities, rooms for lactating mothers and other amenities to enable traders interact with their customers in safety and dignity.

Each of the markets will have a fully equipped ICT hub to enable the youth access digital jobs and earn a livelihood under the Kazi Mtandaoni programme.

We will shortly resolve all outstanding land ownership grievances in Dundori and other parts of Bahati Constituency and issue title deeds to residents.

To facilitate community involvement in the conservation of Dundori Forest, the Government will facilitate limited and orderly access for farming activities and planting of trees without compromising the forest’s ecosystem.

Inspected ongoing works at the Dundori ESP Market whose construction at a cost of 51 million shillings will be complete by June this year.
