A market in North Mugirango funded by the European Union remains abandoned, nearly 12 years since it was built.

Nyambambo market built at a cost of Sh27 million has never been used by the local traders. It has over 100 stalls, which were allocated to traders who have never used them, and sits on two acres of land.
