The construction of the Sh1.04 billion Ultramodern Market in Embu Town by the National Government has revived hope for thousands of traders who will get a more conducive working environment.
The three-story market designed to accommodate approximately 3, 000 traders is 45 percent complete according to the technical working team.
The market is set to be completed by the end of 2026, with the County Government that is undertaking the supervisory role exuding confidence that it could even be completed before the due date, given the pace of work.
The market touted to be the largest in the region was initially allocated Sh. 900 Million which was reviewed upwards to Sh. 1.04 billion to expand it further.
