Kericho traders are counting losses after a devastating fire broke out at the Kericho Main Stage on the night of February 25, 2025, destroying over 20 stalls and leaving the hard earners in distress as goods worth an unconfirmed amount were reduced to ashes.
The County Government of Kericho in a press statement expressed deep regret over the incident and assured affected traders of support in their recovery.
Governor Erick Mutai reaffirmed his administration's commitment to strengthening disaster response and assisting those who lost their businesses.
The county's Disaster and Fire Department had earlier responded to a separate fire in Litein Town at around 9:00 PM.
