Dispute on market rages as Kabogo tells off legislators

The row over the reconstruction of Madaraka market in Thika, which was burned down by unknown people on Saturday night, has intensified. Governor William Kabogo has now criticised some legislators in the county, led by Senator Kimani Wamatangi, for marshalling traders in rebuilding the market.

Addressing journalists during the official launch of Tatu City Industrial Park in Ruiru, Mr Kabogo said the role of building and renovating the market was the prerogative of the county government and told the MPs to keep off.
