Kajiado Governor Joseph ole Lenku has commissioned the new Kitengela Market that was fully funded by his County government at a cost of Sh150 million.
While addressing the market traders in Kitengela, Governor Lenku said that the market would accommodate 2,000 traders.
He remarked that Kitengela town has over 3,500 traders who lack better space to trade in, occupying the roadsides and causing huge traffic jams but now that was in the past.
The governor disclosed that on Tuesday next week, the Trade Department would carry out the validation process followed by balloting. "I call upon all traders to work closely with our county officers to ensure a smooth, inclusive, and transparent transition into this exciting new space," he said.
