Market upgrade programme gives reprieve for Kirinyaga traders

Inspection ongoing at Kagio market in Ndia sub-county. The market is expected to be complete this week.

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has moved to improve trade in the county through the construction of new markets and upgrading of dilapidated ones.

Already at least five markets are under construction including Wang’uru, Ngurubani, Kagumo, Kiamutugu and Kagio in a move that will expand trade and move the county towards a 24-hour economy.
