Traders in the Grogan Road economic hub Sunday lost goods worth hundreds of thousands of shillings when an early morning fire razed through hundreds of business premises.

The inferno, which was suspected to be the result of an electrical fault, took many hours to contain and the business owners could only watch as their belongings were reduced to ashes.
