The newly refurbished market, which cost the county government Sh17 million, was officially opened by Governor Ndiritu Muriithi on October 16. The governor noted that the most leading diseases reported in health facilities in Laikipia County were waterborne and impressed on the traders to observe high levels of cleanliness to avoid the place becoming a melting pot for ailments. “The market is targeted to produce 2,500 direct jobs and another 5,000 indirectly, and generate Sh8 million annually to the county government,” Muriithi noted during the official opening. Apart from the traders who have been operating on the roadside opposite Nanyuki social hall and Nanyuki youth Polytechnic, the new ultramodern market has taken in traders who have been carrying their activities at Nanyuki teaching and referral hospital lane, Kajinga, Kenol and Nyakio areas. In his remarks during this year’s Mashujaa day at Nanyuki stadium, Laikipia County Speaker Patrick Waigua noted there is so much which has been achieved in terms of development by the current county government regime.
