The two markets \u2013 Kibingoti and Sagana\u00a0\u2013 target travellers along the busy highway who stop over to purchase agricultural produce.<\/p>\n

Information from the county\u2019s Department of Trade indicate that the two markets receive about 2,000 buyers per day.<\/p>\n

While launching the markets, Ms Waiguru said she was fulfilling her campaign pledges to local traders.<\/p>\n

Increased capacity<\/p>\n

The two markets have a capacity of about 500 traders each. Initially each of the two could accommodate 100 traders. The markets are connected with electricity and have modern sanitation facilities.<\/p>\n

Sagana and Kibingoti bring to 11 the number of markets that Governor Waiguru\u2019s administration has built in the last three years.<\/p>\n

Others are Makutano, Wang\u2019uru, Kutus, Kerugoya, Kianyaga, Kagumo, Kiamutugu, Kagio fresh produce market and Kagio clothes market.<\/p>\n

The governor said the markets provide a conducive environment for traders to do business.<\/p>\n

Sagana Market Chairman Benson Wanjohi said the\u00a0cabro-paved markets would offer a great relief to traders, who, for a long time, had to wear gumboots whenever it rained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
