Gikomba traders question Governor Sakaja's 'premonition' as fires continue to cause damage

On November 21, Monica Kabee, a second-hand clothes dealer in Gikomba market received the bales that she had ordered from the UK. But just three days later, she received a disturbing call from a colleague informing her that her stall was on fire. She lost everything.

"It is a big loss but it is more painful since every year we lose millions through the fires in the market. Last year November, the fire gutted down our stock in the same place," she said.
